Breakdown - April 29, 2015

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

MAIN SHOW:

BREAKDOWN – LAST WEEK:

We see Syren walking down to the ring. We then see her in the ring. As she speaks, we see stills from Flawless 2015 showing Dante McCaffery getting involved and Syren glaring at Kennedy Street while she stands in the entrance way with Jonathan Knots and Dante McCaffery as champion.

Syren: “I know Mr. D was watching this match and more importantly, I don’t blame the referee for the disqualification. That’s his job. I don’t even blame Kennedy Street for being the slimy bitch that she is. I don’t blame Dante McCaffery even though I’m going to kick his ass if I have anything to say about it. But there are a lot of questions. That was my rematch from Retribution. I know how important it was. I had Kennedy Street beat. And at Retribution, the boss walked to this ring and when bull[bleep] was going down, he reversed it. He wasn’t there at Flawless.”

Syren turns to the entrance way. The crowd cheers.

Sharper: “She may have a point there.”

Winters: “Point or not, and I agree, but with the level of competition, it may not be enough.”

Syren: “And I’d love some answers now. I don’t care how long I have to wait-“

The opening notes to “Exodus” play before we see Kelcey Wallace walking to the ring and then show both of them in the middle of the ring, standing face to face.

Kelcey: “Yeah, you got screwed by Kennedy and all of the mindless individuals she’s got buying into whatever she’s selling. But you didn’t have the year I had. You didn’t. You were selling out shows, being the World Champion and showing that you MAY be the best in the world today.”

Syren just looks at Kelcey as the crowd cheers.

Kelcey: “I was trying to get my life back….”

We then see a shot of Kelcey Wallace standing with Silas Mason before showing her getting pinned at Retribution 2014 by both Regan Street and Shaun Cruze. This is followed by a shot of Kelcey Wallace walking to the back as Silas glares at her and points at her as Kelcey’s words continue to be heard in the background.

Kelcey: “You had her beat….but Syren, you’re not holding the World Championship and if you’re going to come out here and claim you deserve another shot, I’m going to right there asking for mine. And I know I’m not the only one. But Syren, tell me to my face that I don’t deserve it.”

Syren looks right at Kelcey and her eyes. We then hear boos before Kennedy Street and her entourage, Alex Young, Dylan Howell, Jonathan Knots, Ethan von Aaron, and all of PUNK HAZARD, on the stage. We then hear Jonathan Knots speaking as Kennedy proudly holds her title.

Knots: “Just accept the fact that both of you need to realize…you failed, BACK of the line now…:ater tonight, some other hopeful will get a chance to take on Kennedy. They can try and run the Flawless Gauntlet. Maybe, just maybe if no one else wants a shot, the two of you can fight over it. Otherwise…I don’t see Mr. Douche out here to save your asses. Maybe that’s because he knows the truth…Kennedy Street is your World Champion and the present and future of professional wrestling!”

The crowd can be heard booing before we cut to a shot later in the night. We see Kennedy Street walking to the ring, again with her entourage with her.

Knots: “So who is going to step up?’

Sharper: “Well let’s be clear here. This is not sanctioned. We know Mr. D does not agree with it-“

Knots: “Who cares?! Don’t be a Meanie to Keenie!”

We then cut backstage to see Syren and Mr. D talking backstage.

Mr. D: “Look…I’m not going to sanction this, just because you deserve a rematch.”

Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon then show up. Mr. D notices them and turns to them. He stops them too.

Mr. D: “No…no…I’m not going to turn this into a damn shootout all for a shot I’m not going to recognize. This is not sanctioned. Get that out there-“

Syren: “Then maybe if we beat her even with all of her pathetic obstacles, we’re going to make your decision easy.”

Kelcey: “Works for me.”

Cannon just watches as Mr. D backs up and we see a couple of agents watching the situation.

Mr. D: “No…I’m not going to play that game.”

Kelcey: “Then time for you make a decision-“

Mr. D: “Hey wait-“

Mr. D turns as we then see a figure bolt past Syren and Kelcey.

Syren: “Hey-“

Mr. D: “God damn it…”

We then see a shot of Autumn Valentine running out from the back, before brawling with Alexis Quinne.

Sharper: “It was Autumn! Autumn Valentine coming down to the ring and going after Quinne!”

We see Syren running out to fight with PUNK HAZARD and help her friend before we see Kelcey Wallace running down only for Chris Cannon to spear Grundy on the ramp. The crowd roars. We then cut to a shot of Kelcey Wallace and Syren both hitting the ring. We see Syren fighting with Alex Young and Dylan Howell taking some Kelcey Wallace forearms. We see Kelcey hitting a dropkick on Alex Young, knocking him to the floor before showing Kennedy Street, surrounded by officials, proudly holding her World Championship.

Sharper: “Kennedy being escorted from ringside. She’s being forced to the back and look at her. Rubbing the title in everyone’s faces.”

Knots: “She’s the champion! Can’t take that from her! Not on her watch!”

The crowd boos as we see shots of Autumn Valentine being held back and Chris Cannon fighting with both Dylan Howell and Alex Young. We then see Syren and Kelcey yelling at one another in the ring. Mr. D walks past Kennedy as Kennedy continues to hold up the title with Dante and Ethan walking with her. Mr. D then heads to the ring with couple of security members and officials. Mr. D hops onto the apron. Syren and Kelcey then start to trade forearm shots as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren! Kelcey! They’re trading blows!”

Knots: “Yes! This is Perfect!”

Mr. D enters the ring. Kelcey goes to nail Syren, but Syren blocks it and kicks her in the ribs before forearming her back. Officials stand between Syren and Kelcey as Mr. D turns to Syren and tells her to get back. Syren turns around and looks at him and the two share some words. Kelcey shoves one official back before turning and getting a brief head of steam and going for the Another Day in Paradise. Syren however turns and Kelcey ends up nailing Mr. D in the side of the head with the kick. The crowd ohs and Syren sidesteps back to be sure. Kelcey then looks at Mr. D stunned.

Sharper: “Oh! No! Kelcey hit the boss!”

Knots: “Ha! Yes! Right to the jaw!”

Sharper: “The boss is out! Syren and Kelcey are stunned!”

Kennedy just smirks as she smiles holding up the title. Cannon ends up back in the ring. Syren and Kelcey just look down at Mr. D who is down.

Sharper: “She didn’t even know the boss was there…”

Knots: “So what?! She hit him!”

Sharper: “We still don’t have answers, but Kelcey Wallace has just knocked out the boss!”

We see Mr. D down on the mat, still unconscious as the officials check on him and the scene fades to black.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play. We see the SCW Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Kelcey Wallace walking out to the ring with Chris Cannon and then showing Sienna Swann hitting the Slice of Heaven on Jake Starr. This is followed by a shot of Selena Frost hitting the tornado DDT on Ben McCaron before showing Donovan Kayl hitting the Point Blank on CHBK.

They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams

We see a shot of Shaun Cruze locking the Shaunshooter on Simon Lyman before showing Tommy Valentine hitting James Evans with the Griever’s Bane. We see a shot of Rachel Foxx going to hit Syren with a sledgehammer before showing Syren ducking and her hitting Adam Sharper instead before we follow up with a shot of Syren celebrating with the SCW World Championship at Rise to Greatness.

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)

A shot of Red Rayne spewing the Bloodbath into the eyes of Christy Matthews is shown before showing William Mason hitting the Perfect Driver on Shilo Valiant. We then see Collin Cole trying to attack Xander Valentine only to be caught and thrown down to the mat.

I'll try to picture me without you but I can't

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne and PUNK HAZARD carrying their banner.

'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long

If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,

immor immortals

Immortals

We then see a shot of Merrick Wiseman handcuffing Ravyn Taylor before showing James Marsh-Asher nearly getting the Last Breath on Red Rayne. Shots of CHBK standing with Mikaela Street, followed by Katie Steward posing and David Helms walking to the ring are shown. This is followed with a shot of Regan Street dropping Rachel Foxx with the Catnap inside Tactical Warfare before showing Jake Starr hitting the shooting five star frog splash from the top of a cage onto Silas Mason before the SCW Breakdown logo comes back up on the screen.

The scene cuts to the inside of the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Pyro shoots from both ends of the stage and towards the middle before back out to the outside and then all across the stage. Spotlights circle around the arena as the camera pan throughout the arena, showing the many fans who have filed into the arena standing and cheering, waving banners, signs, t-shirt and whatever else they have. The cameras pan for a few moments before cutting to ringside to show Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at the announce table.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to New Orleans here for Breakdown. With the events from last week on everyone’s mind, we’re wondering what the fallout may be! Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters and tonight, we know the boss will be here. Is he going to do anything regarding what happened last week?”

Winters: “I don’t know, but from what every angle showed, it looked accidental. The problem is that that’s how badly people want a title shot and that needs to still be dealt with. And this all one week away from the Best of the Best Tournament.”

Sharper: “Indeed and we’ll have more on that later, but tonight, we’ve got some big matches. We’re going to see the Underground Championship on the line when Rachel Foxx defends against Matt Auclair.”

Winters: “Last week, Foxx revealed that Red Rayne and Matt Auclair went after her unborn child. I don’t know what she meant by that, but Foxx was gone. She was clearly not in sound mind and she’s in an Underground Title match tonight!”

Sharper: “Not only that, Kelcey Wallace and Syren will be in action tonight. Kelcey Wallace will team with Chris Cannon and Autumn Valentine to face Dylan Howell, Alex Young and Alexis Quinne. Syren has Dante McCaffery tonight.”

Winters: “Both matches interesting. Will Dante McCaffery even deal with Syren? How is Syren going to respond to that? And that six person tag…take one team that seems to work together, what is Autumn Valentine going to do with Kelcey and Cannon?’

Sharper: “We’ll find out, but first tonight, we kick off with some tag team action!”

The Next Level vs. Angelica Jones & Harmony Fisher

The arena is plunged into complete darkness and the fans begin to buzz with anticipation as the screens light up to display a countdown and the cheers begin to roll out automatically as a robotic voice begins to speak the words that appear on the screens.

NEXT LEVEL WILL STEAL THIS SHOW IN

ERROR - ERROR - ERROR

As the countdown reaches three, the image on the screen begins to distort as if being taken over by a virus and the sound of static replaces the robotic voice before both cut completely and the room goes dark again before the screens light up once again.

NEXT LEVEL ARE STEALING THIS SHOW - NOW!!!

A montage of clips showing both men hitting various moves - including Valentine's 'Grievers Bane' and Helms' 'New Jersey Neckbreaker' - fills the screen as "The Flood" by Escape The Fate begins to blast over the speakers and the crowd roar as the curtains part and Thomas Valentine and David Helms run out onto the stage to another resounding chorus of cheer's from the crowd. Both men come to a stop at the top of the ramp, soaking in the cheers from the crowd, who are going crazy for the two members of The Next Level at this point. Throwing his arms up, Helms jumps in the air and does the Self High Five and as he brings his hands apart fireworks erupt from either side of the ramp, going all the way down to the ring before the house lights come back on.

Not wanting to be outdone, Valentine steps in front of Helms and with a smirk on his face he crosses his arms over his chest so his hands are almost touching his shoulders before flinging them apart, making beckoning movements with his hands, fireworks erupting from the stage with each gesture, as he cocks his head to the side slightly. After their burst of one-upmanship, the pair nod at one another, grinning, before sprinting down to the ring jumping up and sliding under the ropes. Once in the ring, both men take a separate corner and pose for the fans who are still cheering wildly, before jumping down and switching corners, repeating the process. Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson then walk out and head to the ring.

Hopping down from the ring posts, the showboating more or less over with, both men stand in the centre of the ring, ready for whatever is ahead of them. Valentine, slyly looks at Helms, mocking his friend a little by doing a Self High Five of his own, mouthing the word 'Bang' at him. Smiling and shaking his head, David looks back at his partner before unleashing a Self High Five of his own, showing him how it’s done, actually yelling out the word 'Bang' which gets another chorus of cheers from the crowd as their music fades. Laughing, the pair high five before standing side by side and waiting for the start of the match.

Sharper: “You see Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson back in the corner of David Helms. He brought them back last week, after he announced he was going to ensure some joy in his career.”

Winters: “And yet, he’s pulled back in. Tonight, teaming with Tommy Valentine to face off against Silas’ World yet again.”

Sharper: “I hope, for Helms’ sake, it will be the last time for a while.”

(The lights dim to a crimson red color throughout the arena. A high pitched female voice can be heard over the PA speakers…“I Lost My Miiiiiiind….”)

All the things she said

Running through my head

(Running through my head)

All the things she said

Running through my head

(Running through my head)

This is not enough

The image of a red dragon appears on the Tron. The dragon is engulfed in flames as it is replaced by a phoenix. Then that too goes up in flames as it is replaced by an image of Angelica Jones.

The big screen shows images of Angelica Jones delivering the Hot Shot to SCW stars. Angelica then steps out onto the stage. She is dressed in all black, from head to toe, and that includes a black trenchcoat. Her long hair hangs down to shoulder length. She stares menacingly, sadistically down at the ring, pausing as Harmony Fisher then walks out from the back. The two look at each other before finally beginning to make the long walk to the ring.

Once at ringside Angelica takes a sharp turn to the right and the ascends the steel steps, making her way up to the ring apron. She strolls slowly to the center before turning towards the audience. She looks out intensely at the crowd before posing with both arms raised high into the air. Harmony meanwhile walks to the ring and hops onto the apron and looks at Valentine and Helms. She smirks before entering into the ring.

Angelica steps into the ring and then steps over to the opposite side of the ring where she poses on the second rope. She then jumps off and heads to the center where the music dies down and the lights come back up. She stands, waiting for the match to begin. Harmony and Angelica talk to one another before Harmony exits the ring.

Sharper: “Harmony Fisher’s history with the Next Level is well-told. Valentine and Helms trained her, but they have had an acrimonious relationship since.”

Winters: “That’s fine. Add Angelica and the fact that she’s more than pissed off, this should be a hell of a fight. The Dragon is unleashed. Let’s see her breath fire and take em out.”

Angelica looks at Helms as he stays in the ring for the Next Level. The bell sounds and Helms and Jones circle the ring. They lunge at one another as the crowd roars and Helms goes for the grapple. Jones ducks down and around Helms into a waistlock. She then clubs him in the back and then again before forearming him in the back. Helms goes for an elbow, but Jones steps back and bounces off the ropes before kicking Helms in the ribs. She then forearms him in the jaw and he falls back. Angelica then grabs him and drags him over towards her corner. She tags in Harmony. Harmony enters the ring and Angelica holds Helms up as Helms struggles and Harmony kicks him in the ribs. Angelica lets go and exits. Helms falls to the ropes. Harmony then kicks him again in the ribs before stomping him over and over again. The crowd boos as Harmony takes some liberties. The referee calls for the break.

Sharper: “Harmony just going after Helms.”

Winters: “Marching orders from Silas?”

Sharper: “Or maybe just a personal goal. Stomp away on her former trainer.”

Harmony backs off at four and walks around the ring. The crowd boos. Helms starts to get up and Harmony kicks him in the ribs. She then forearms him and knocks him into the adjacent neutral corner. Harmony kicks Helms again and then whips him across the ring. Harmony runs after him and Helms moves out of the way. Harmony hits the turnbuckles and Helms pushes her back. She rolls through and Helms hits a dropkick. The crowd roars. Helms gets up and Harmony pulls herself up and Helms pulls her into a hip toss before holding her down and tagging in Tommy. The crowd roars as Tommy slingshots in with a hilo right across the ribs of Harmony. Helms rolls to the apron and to the floor. Tommy goes for the pin.

Harmony kicks out. Helms gets up on the apron. Tommy gets up as Harmony rolls over. Harmony gets to her feet and Tommy grabs her and pulls her to the middle of the ring and scoops her up and slams her down.

Sharper: “Now, Valentine into the match and scoop slam takes down Harmony Fisher.”

Winters: “From one mentor to the other and the fact is, they know her strengths and weaknesses. Add Angelica’s aggressiveness as we saw, keep her outside the ring. This is Next Level’s match if Tommy keeps this up.”

Tommy runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting an elbow drop. He goes for the pin.

Harmony kicks out. She rolls over and Tommy grabs her and drags her up before forearming her. Harmony falls back to the corner. Tommy grabs Harmony and whips her across the ring. Tommy runs after her and jumps up and hits an leg lariat in the corner. Harmony falls over. Tommy grabs her and pulls her out and then goes for a vertical suplex. As he lifts her up, Angelica, enters and hits a chopblock. The crowd boos and Tommy drops Harmony as Harmony lands on top of him. The referee reprimands Angelica and she rolls out of the ring. The referee then turns and notices the pin.

Helms pulls her off. Helms exits. He then looks at Angelica. Tommy stirs as Harmony starts to get up. She hits a knee drop. She rolls through and tags in Angelica. Angelica enters the ring as Tommy gets up. Angelica runs at him and hits a running knee lift. Tommy turns and falls to the mat.

Sharper: “Vicious knee lift and Tommy just drops.”

Winters: “And now Tommy better cover up and pray.”

Angelica turns around and hits a stomp to the chest and then the face before the chest again. She grabs Tommy and slowly pulls him up before then dropping him with a drop toe hold. She then jumps up and hits a leg drop to the back of Tommy’s head. She rolls him over.

Tommy kicks out. Angelica gets up. She then stomps Tommy before running over and nailing Helms with a forearm. Helms falls off and backs off. The crowd boos. Angelica turns around to Tommy and grabs him as he gets up. Tommy however suddenly kicks her in the ribs and hits the Petal of Woe. Tommy looks up and then starts to get up. He gets to his feet and grabs Angelica and pulls her in. He tags in Helms and whips Angelica into the far neutral corner. Helms runs over and drops down in front of Angelica and Tommy runs over and jumps off Helms’ back and hits the Eye of the Storm, variation 1. The crowd ohs.

Sharper: “Teamwork by Next Level. The experience coming into play.”

Winters: “And that experience took the form of a knee to the face of Angelica Jones!”

Helms gets up as Tommy backs up. He then heads to his corner as Helms pulls Jones out and hits a snapmare. He then hits a dropkick to the back of her head. He turns for the pin, but Harmony enters and Helms gets up and hip tosses her out of the ring. The crowd roars. Helms goes for the pin on Angelica

Angelica kicks out. Helms gets up and Angelica rolls over. She starts to get up and Helms chops her. The crowd woos. Helms forearms her and whips her across the ring. Harmony however turns and reaches through and pulls Angelica to the floor when she hits the ropes. Angelica falls to the barricade. Harmony rolls in and Helms runs at her, but Harmony ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a flying headscissors. Tommy meanwhile waits for Angelica to get her bearings before diving off with a flying clothesline. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Tommy off the apron! Harmony takes down Helms!”

Winters: “Tommy made sure Angelica can’t make it back in, but Harmony’s not the legal woman!”

Sharper: “Helms however getting back up and Harmony is looking keep him down so Angelica can get back in!”

Tommy starts to get up on the floor. Helms turns and Harmony grabs Helms and kicks him in the ribs and hits a DDT. Harmony then turns and looks around before turning to Tommy and diving through the ropes, taking Harmony down with a pescado through the ropes. The crowd boos. Tommy hits the mats and Harmony rolls over too. Angelica slowly starts to pull herself up and Harmony points for her to get into the ring. Harmony winces and rolls over as Angelica turns and rolls into the ring. Helms rolls over and Angelica gets up and grabs him and pulls him up, but suddenly, Helms lifts Angelica up and drops her with the Genesis Shift.

Sharper: “Helms! He got Angelica! Lifts her up! Genesis Shift!”

Winters: “He was playing possum! Angelica was suckered in!”

Helms hooks the leg. Harmony starts to go to the ring, noticing this, but Tommy grabs her leg.

The crowd roars and Helms rolls out of the ring as Tommy lets go of Harmony and Harmony rolls into the ring. Helms goes to the floor as Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson join him. Tommy gets up and heads over to him and they begin their celebration.

Sharper: “Helms and Valentine, Next Level gets it done here tonight. They get the win against Silas’ World and frankly, if this is Helms’ last match against them, he’s got to be happy.”

Winters: “Just are Harmony Fisher or Angelica Jones going to allow that.”

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Helms and Valentine both getting a much needed good moment here in New Orleans!”

The crowd cheers as the Next Level continues to celebrate at ringside. Harmony paces in the ring as Angelica Jones slowly stirs, holding the back of her head.

“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy starts to play and we see a shot of Kennedy Street, Ethan von Aaron, Maximillian and Carlos walking down the hallway.

Winters: “Looks like we’ll have visitors.”

Sharper: “Kennedy Street and her entourage on their way to the ring. We expect to hear from them next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown with a panning shot of the crowd. We then hear Adam Sharper’s voice.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. It’s been two and a half months since the Trios Tournament and we have not heard much from all three outside of CHBK holding all three contracts.”

Winters: “Well he’s clearly trying to get under this skin.”

Sharper: “In the past week, our newest colleague, Spirit Dansby sat down with all three Trios Tournament winners. First up, CHBK!”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We open up inside the interview room that has been set up to see Spirit Dansby seated in her chair.

Spirit: “Thank you, Adam. First up, I’ve managed to get some time here with the Canadian Heartbreak Kid. CHBK, thank you for you time.”

The camera cuts to show CHBK sitting across from her. Mikaela Street is not with him.

CHBK: “Anytime.”

Spirit: “Well as you know I’m speaking to you, Trinity Street and Lucas Knight regarding theT Trios Tournament contracts. It’s a busy time of the year. Best of the Best Tournament coming up next week. Taking Hold of the Flame will be in just over a month. Then Rise to Greatness.”

CHBK: “Busy time. It’s also the time where you need to feel the most alive when you’re active in the ring.”

Spirit: “Certainly the case. That leads me to the Trios Tournament contract that you hold. There are a lot of theories about what you’re going to use it for.”

CHBK: “Oh I have to hear this.”

CHBK smirks as he leans back in the chair. Spirit Dansby looks to her notes.

Spirit: “Well the first is that some suggest that you’re going to use the Trios Tournament contract to give yourself a World Title shot. Others say that you’re going to use it for Mikaela and grant her a Women’s Championship opportunity, despite the fact that she’s not been in action in months. There are some that you’re going to use them to have one final Rise to Greatness main event”

CHBK just looks disappointed.

CHBK: “I’m a bit saddened by those. They are creative in the slightest. I’m in my fifties. Of course I’d consider giving myself that last run or giving my twenty-year old girlfriend a shot at immortality. I was hoping that they would be something ridiculous.”

Spirit: “Well then does that mean you have some more creative ideas for it.”

CHBK: “Right now, I hold my contract. That and what I do with it, I’ve thought about it, but frankly, I have no desire to use it in the next two months. No value in it for me. Yeah, would I love to walk out in Vancouver and defend the World Title…certainly. But I know that the people in charge know I have some value. Rumours are what they are. In Canada, I’m a God and I know it. But as for what I’ll do after that…we’ll see how things turn out. But right now, while I have my contract, Mikaela is having fun with Trinity and Lucas’ contracts. Yes, they couldn’t get reprints and I’ve said that before. But it’s getting under their skins. And that…that’s leverage no contract could give me…oh wait…”

CHBK chuckles.

Spirit: “So then, can I get a firm answer…will you use your Trios contract before Rise to Greatness?”

CHBK smirks.

CHBK: “No. That clear enough?”

Spirit: “Thank you CHBK and thank you for your time.”

The scene cuts away as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

We return to ringside and “Criticize” starts to play. The crowd roars and then boos before we see Ethan von Aaron walk out with Kennedy Street and Maximillian. Carlos sneaks around the others before throwing rose petals up into the air. The crowd boos as Kennedy Street continues on her way to the ring. Maximillian looks around as Ethan von Aaron shows her off.

Sharper: “And Kennedy Street now on her way out and I’m sure she’s going to be gloating about last week.”

Winters: “Why not?! She’s still champion and she didn’t kick the boss in the head!”

Kennedy Street walks down to the ring as Ethan then hops onto the apron. Kennedy walks up the steel steps and Ethan holds the ropes open. Kennedy enters into the ring. Ethan follows before Maximillian hops onto the apron and enters into the ring. Carlos walks up the steel steps and goes inside the ring too before throwing rose petals all around. The crowd boos as Kennedy looks around the arena. Ethan von Aaron walks over to the corner and is handed a microphone. He takes it before looking around. Kennedy’s music starts to fade.

Ethan: “All of you shut up as you’re about to hear from the Sexy, Flawless Diva and the greatest World Champion in professional wrestling history!”

The crowd boos as Ethan then turns and presents the microphone to Kennedy Street. Kennedy smiles as she prominently holds the World Championship belt over her shoulder. She looks around as the crowd boos some more.

Kennedy: “I told everyone that no matter who steps up, they’re not going to be able to take the SCW World Championship from me. Simon Lyman tried. Donovan Kayl tried. Kelcey Wallace tried and Syren tried. And then last week…we saw how desperate people become. Kelcey Wallace…a bastion of hope and alleged perfection, she was anything but and instead, she knocked out our boss.”

Kennedy pauses as the crowd boos. Kennedy nods, faking a look of disappointment.

Kennedy: “Now trust me, I hope that you’re okay recovering from the likely concussion symptoms you have from such a vicious attack. In normal circumstances, I would be the first person to step forward and defend your honour as I love this company so.”

Sharper: “Give me a break.”

Kennedy looks around.

Kennedy: “It’s true…Sure you make some horrible decisions and you made Keenie wait for a year for the World Title she should’ve been holding since January of 2014, but I am your champion now and I am your most valuable champion and competitor.”

The crowd boos. Kennedy holds her hand up.

Kennedy: “And I normally would be the first to thwart the evil, and lies, of someone that represents Perfection, but the fact is that that would only tarnish the reputation of the SCW World Championship. I know, that seems impossible given that I am holding it and I took that from Syren, who probably didn’t more damage to this title simply because she is nowhere close to the level of champion and person that I am….”

Sharper: “She’s just full of herself.”

Winters: “Well she may be the best champion since I held that title.”

Sharper: “Yeah, pump your own tires too!”

Kennedy looks around as the crowd boos loudly. Kennedy just shakes her head.

Kennedy: “I know, it’s tough to hear. But let’s face it…your heroes aren’t even half the person I am. I am the champion this company deserves. And trust me, I look a hell of a lot better in black! And I don’t need to wear anywhere near as much!”

Some of the crowd roar as Kennedy smirks. Ethan just starts fanning himself.

Sharper: “Good lord.”

Winters: “Knots told me himself that Keenie even had her silhouette on her panties.”

Sharper: “I’m not even going to respond.”

Kennedy: “So, since I am the World Champion and I am not only a fighting and defending champion, but I recognize the responsibilities that I have to have to maintain the reputation of this title, honey….I’ve decided that neither Syren or Kelcey Wallace will receive a shot in the near future. They are hereby banned from accepting the Flawless Gauntlet. Their goldlust has now led to collateral damage and the near career-ending assault on our owner!”

The crowd boos. Kennedy looks around as Ethan von Aaron starts to applaud Kennedy.

Winters: “That’s that.”

Sharper: “Last I check, she’s not the one calling the shots around here.”

Kennedy walks around, just enjoying the boos, seemingly feeling they are cheers before she turns to the main camera again.

Kennedy: “And thus that means I now need to find a rightful number one contender. Now, normally, I would look to the Best of the Best Tournament that starts next week, but let’s face it, with me in it, I’m going to beat everyone anyways. So I’m not sure who deserves a shot. But later tonight, I’ll help out Mr. D again….The Flawless Gauntlet will be back and we’ll at least eliminate some more-“

Just then “Hail to the King” starts to play. The crowd boos again. We then see Silas Mason walk out from the back before Sienna Swann walks out with him. She smiles as she looks down at the ring. We then see B. Real walk out and look around. A few moments pass before Regan Street walks out from the back. The crowd boos as Silas Mason looks around before turning back to Regan and Sienna and motioning for them to follow him to the ring. Silas then starts to head to the ring as Regan and Sienna walk with him. Kennedy turns to him as Maximillian stands in front of her.

Sharper: “And now, after that speech, that announcement, Kennedy Street being greeted by Silas Mason who has Sienna Swann and Regan Street with her.

Winters: “Well you have to admit this about Silas…he’s got some great talent and Regan Steret already has started to get closer to the World Title than she’s been in months!”

Sharper: “We do know that both Sienna and Regan are part of the field that will be the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal, taking place on June 7^th.”

Silas Mason walks down to the ring and walks up the steel steps. B.Real runs in front of Sienna and Silas Mason stands at the corner as Sienna Swann walks up in front of him. B. Real hops onto the apron and holds open the ropes for Sienna. She enters as B.Real follows. He then stands in front of her and looks at Maximillian. Silas then holds the ropes open for Regan Street and Regan looks at him before entering into the ring. Silas then enters the ring before turning to Kennedy and Ethan and stepping across the ring. Regan locks eyes with Kennedy Street as B.Real and Maximillian continue to watch each other. Silas is handed a microphone as he turns back and walks across the ring and smiles before turning around to Kennedy.

Silas: “Well Kennedy…looks like you have a bit of a problem and I have a couple of solutions.”

The crowd boos as Silas smirks and turns to look Kennedy in the eye. Regan keeps watching Kennedy.

Silas: “See whereas Syren finally has proven that she just couldn’t beat you….and Kelcey continues to show that I am the only reason for her success, I still have worthy adversaries and with all due respect, Kennedy, some challengers that I think can give you a run for their money. And they stand here with. You know one well, Regan…say hi to your cousin.”

Regan just glares at Kennedy as Kennedy and her lock eyes. Kennedy just rolls her eyes.

Silas: “And you know Sienna pretty well. And this time, if ya want, she’ll meet ya in this ring instead of wearin’ only a bikini or looking pretty damn perfect, if I say so myself.”

Silas smirks.

Silas: “If ya gettin’ at what I’m sayin…ya know Silas’ World holds the next best contenders. Angelica is gonna show her abilities in the tournament. Harmony Fisher is showin’ why I had faith in her. But Baby Face and Baby Cat…they ready now!”

Kennedy smirks as the crowd boos. Kennedy then responds.

Kennedy: “Well Silas, you’re a business man I can respect.”

Silas: “Well, I’m pretty sure Baby Flawless would look good-“

Kennedy cuts Silas off.

Kennedy: “Sorry, Silas…but Keenie doesn’t need you.”

Silas, without the microphone turns to her, repeating “Fair enough! Fair enough!” Ethan then whispers something into the ear of Kennedy Street. Kennedy listens for a moment before then continuing.

Kennedy: “But Silas, you do make a hell of a case here and one I happen to agree with. See, Silas Mason does represent some of the best talent. But Silas…I also know what you have planned for Rise to Greatness and frankly, I have some problems. Rise to Greatness is going to be headlined by me, the Sexy, Flawless Diva which means one of your clients is going to be disappointed. But…I suppose I can give one of them an opportunity at Taking Hold of the Flame.”

The crowd boos as Kennedy smirks. She then turns to Regan.

Kennedy: “But let’s face it…Regan….you’re going to screw up. You’re not worth the time unless you prove it. And I hope you can at the tournament and the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. Granted…I plan to win the Tournament and frankly…I plan to enter the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal just to prove a point. But Regan….I’ll give you some hope since that’s all you have.”

Regan just glares at Kennedy as Kennedy turns to Silas Mason.

Kennedy: “But I have some unfinished business with your Baby Face….Sienna…you can claim you’re the real Perfect Ten, but let’s face it…everyone in this arena wants to be with me over you. And to prove that I am better than you in every way, Taking Hold of the Flame, you won’t need to be in the battle royal…I’ll just beat you for the World Title!”

The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Give me a break.”

Regan just looks down, clearly pissed off. Silas turns to her and says something. Silas then turns back.

Silas: “Then Kennedy…let’s just seal it on a handshake.”

The crowd boos as Sienna smiles proudly. Silas however extends his hand as Kennedy shakes it. Kennedy however looks at Sienna Swann as Swann just watches Kennedy. Regan looks on with disgust.

Silas: “Pleasure doin’ business with ya.”

Silas turns to Regan and Sienna before motioning to them to leave. “Criticize” however plays as Sienna exits the ring. B.Real follows her. Regan just looks at Kennedy and glares at her. Kennedy watches her as Maximillian steps forward. Ethan motions at Regan to leave as Silas tells her to leave. Regan slowly does as Silas, Sienna, B.Real and Regan then start to make their exit.

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Regan Street getting swatted down by Kennedy, but Kennedy Street agreeing to face Sienna Swann. She’s not even had any damn singles matches thus far!”

Winters: “Hey! Kennedy sees talent and Sienna Swann, the real Perfect Ten…why face the fake when you can face the real thing.”

Sharper: “Give me a break. And all while her cousin, Regan, has to accept it.”

Winters: “Well she’s in the battle royal, she can earn her shot.”

Sharper: “Unbelievable.”

Silas, Sienna and B.Real continue on their way to the back as Regan turns back to Kennedy before turning back to the Silas and continuing on her way. Kennedy just smirks and smiles as Ethan von Aaron commends her on a great negotiation and we turn away.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Angelica Jones and Harmony Fisher arguing in their locker room.

Angelica: “You said you had him down.”

Harmony: “Look. You’re the one with the experience edge.”

Angelica: “Maybe I’m standing here thinking that given your history with them, maybe you helped them out.”

Harmony: “Please…they don’t care about me.”

Just then Silas Mason walks into the room with Sienna, Regan and B. Real.

Silas: “Girls, girls…what is goin’ on here?”

Harmony: “Nothing Silas…”

Harmony looks at Angelica before turning to Silas.

Harmony: “But I do have a question…why am I only getting Tag Team opportunities lately to show my woth.”

Silas just smiles as Angelica glares at Harmony.

Silas: “Don’t worry, you’ll get yer opportunity. I just need ta make sure everythin’ is fine here.”

Angelica: “Perfectly…”

Angelica then turns to Sienna before turning to Silas.

Angelica: “I’ll be back. I just need a walk.”

Silas: “Well don’t take too long. Tonight’s a night to relax and watch Baby Girl get what she deserves.”

Angelica: “Yeah, I’ll be back.”

Angelica then turns and walks out of the room. Regan Street just watches her as Sienna Swann smiles and continues into the ring and we cut to the ring.

We cut to another part of the backstage area to see Freddie Collins walking down the hallway as the crowd cheers a bit.

Sharper: “There’s Freddie Collins. He’s about to be in action here tonight. First time we’ve seen him in action since he beat A$AP Scrappy at Flawless.”

Winters: “Going to be highflying to say the least here. He has little experience, but he’s somehow winning.”

Collins turns the corner and just then, we see Jake Starr run up behind Collins and clothesline him down. In his hand is a chair as Collins falls over. The crowd boos and Starr steps forward and Collins starts to get up only for Starr to slam him in the back with a steel chair. The crowd ohs and boos. Collins arches his back in pain and just then we see Xander Valentine walk over to him.

Sharper: “Wait a minute! What the hell?! Jake Starr! Xander Valentine! Why the hell are they attacking this poor kid?!”

Winters: “It’s Jake Starr. I don’t know and I doubt he has a good reason!”

Sharper: “And now Xander picking up this kid!”

Xander grabs Collins and pulls him up. Jake Starr just laughs.

Starr: “Welcome to the big time kid.”

Xander knees Collins in the ribs before hooking him up in a double underhook. He then lifts him up and hits the double underhook powerbomb, a variation of the Martial Bane onto the concrete. The crowd ohs and Xander then looks at him. Starr just laughs. Xander then steps over him as we see officials and security coming over. The officials check on Collins as some of the guards keep Xander and Starr away.

Sharper: “Officials coming in as the Martial Bane on the concrete. This kid could be destroy and for what? For what?”

The camera focuses on Collins before we cut to the ring.

Tyler Tucker vs. Freddie Collins

“Adrenaline” by Shinedown begins blasting through the arena as blue and yellow lights pulse rapidly in an alternating fashion on the stage. As the opening guitar riffs of the song come to an end, blue and yellow pyro goes off on stage, and when the lyrics start Tyler Tucker excitedly leaps through the smoke and starts getting the fans amped up for the impending match. Right behind him is Craig Thomas with a rare smile on his face as he puts an arm around Tyler’s shoulders and points out to the cheering fans. When the song hits the chorus they both break into a full sprint down the ramp and simultaneously slide into the ring. They go to climb opposite corners and point out at the fans before climbing down and going to pose in the center of the ring, Tyler sliding onto his knees in front of Craig and extending his arms with a big smile as Craig puts a calming hand on his friend’s head, the smile now leaving his face as his usual emotionless expression takes over. Craig helps Tyler to his feet and the friends convene to their corner to discuss strategy for the match ahead.

Sharper: “Tyler Tucker about to face Freddie Collins here on Breakdown, but as we just saw, Freddie Collins was assaulted by Jake Starr!”

Winters: “Well you’ve love to know why, but it’s Jake Starr, so probably felt that he did a flip better than him. But I don’t know.”

Sharper: “A shame as we were expecting what could’ve been a hell of a highflying contest.”

Tyler Tucker turns to the entrance way as Craig Thomas hypes him up in the corner. Tucker hops up and down, prepared to fight before suddenly “This Fire” by Killswitch Engage starts to play. The crowd boos as Tyler Tucker stops hopping and looks at the entrance way. Craig Thomas looks up too. We then see Jake Starr walk out from the back, holding a steel chair. He’s also got a microphone in his hand. Xander Valentine then walks out behind him. The crowd boos some more.

Sharper: “Oh my God…”

Winters: “Now we have a bit of a better idea.”

Sharper: “Jake Starr with a chair. Xander Valentine behind him. And Jake Starr has a microphone too.”

Jake Starr takes a few more steps as Xander follows behind him. Thomas enters the ring and stands in the ring with Tyler Tucker as Jake Starr starts to speak.

Starr: “Sorry for taking some of the fun out tonight. I mean, we were going to watch some kid who with twelve seconds in that ring, he’s going to get time on an internationally broadcast wrestling program…but well, Xander and I made sure that wasn’t going to happen.”

Starr smirks as he continues on his way to the ring.

Starr: “But well, you’re probably wondering why we’re doing this together. Why we’re coming to the ring now and why Chairee is joining me here. You’re probably also wondering where Brandon Evans and Thoren Holt are too…and well…fortunately, I have some answers!”

Just then we see Brandon Evans hop the guardrail and run into the ring. Thoren Holt comes behind him and slides in on the other side. Craig Thomas turns and grabs Brandon and nails him with a couple of hard shots as Tucker turns to Thoren. Thoren tackles him down and begins to attack him. Tucker covers up and manages to get some shots in before rolling over. Thomas nails Brandon with a couple more shots before turning around and kicking Thoren in the side. Thoren rolls over and Tucker rolls over and goes to him and nails him with a forearm to the jaw. He gets up as Jake Starr slides into the ring. Thomas turns back to Brandon and Brandon covers up and Thomas nails him a few more times. He then notices Starr lifting his chair up as Tucker kicks Thoren again. Thomas turns, but Brandon grabs him and hooks his leg. Starr then heads over and nails Tucker in the back with the steel chair. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Oh God! The chair to the back of the kid! Tyler Tucker…”

Winters: “And Brandon Evans is forcing Craig Thomas to watch.”

Sharper: “Why though? Why are they even bothering with this?!”

Starr watches Tucker fall to the mat. Thomas manages to kick away at Brandon and gets up and nails Starr from behind. He gets up and Xander enters the ring and boots him in the face. Thomas falls over. He winces and Xander then looks at him grabs him by the head and pulls him up before locking in the Fade to Black. The crowd boos.

Sharper: “Now the Fade to Black on Craig Thomas! These two, these four, they’re dismantling Adrenaline Rush!”

Winters: “And look at Starr. Still has that chair.”

Tucker starts to get up and Starr then hands the chair to Thoren Holt. Holt takes it and looks at it before slamming it down into the back of Tyler Tucker. Starr then turns to the main camera. Xander meanwhile continues to keep the Fade to Black locked in.

Starr: “Now, you’re probably wondering what we’re doing together, what we’re doing destroying these two young kids, but they are just collateral. To us…they are just a means to an end. See, Xander and I, we’ve had a chance to speak…well some more…

Starr smirks. Xander finally throws Thomas down.

Sharper: “Thank God…Thomas was in that hold…”

Starr: “…since being teamed up against the Old and the Annoying. And we’ve realized we have quite a bit more in common especially when it comes to opportunities we feel we’re owed and we seem to also agree on tactics. Now, as for why we’re out here now…this is more fun.”

Starr smirks as he leans on the ropes.

Starr: “See, we’re wondering how much Mr. Justice, Robocop, whatever he wants to be called, cares about others. He’s saved his geriatric friend, but what about two people who may be the future of this business. Well, see, we realize you’re in action later, but we feel like we’re going to do the world a service by kicking your ass and taking you out now.”

Starr pauses as Brandon stomps Tucker a few times. Holt smirks.

Starr: “So Wiseman, come on down for your last gunfight because we’re going to end this BS once and for all-“

Just then, we see not just Merrick Wiseman, but Alexander Sire, Andrew Raynes and Amy Chastaine. The crowd roars. Merrick Wiseman then heads down to the ring, leading the other three as they then rush the ring. Xander and Starr hold their ground as Wiseman enters the ring as does Sire. Raynes and Chastaine do as well. Wiseman gets up and Xander grabs him and the two of them trade some right hands.

Sharper: “Here we go! Not just Wiseman! Not just Sire! But Amy Chastaine and Andrew Raynes!”

Winters: “The war is on!”

Sire goes over to Starr and Starr nails him in the ribs with the microphone before Rayne gets up and clotheslines him down. Brandon Evans goes for Sire, but Sire then suddenly wrenches his arm and forces him down to the mat before kneeing him in the shoulder. Chastaine goes for Holt. Holt swings the chair, but Chastaine ducks and both turn around and Holt lifts the chair again, but Chastaine dropkicks it back at him. Holt rolls out of the ring and Starr does as well. Rayne then turns with Chastaine and Wiseman shoves Xander back. Xander turns around and Chastaine and Rayne hit a double dropkick. Xander falls to the mat. He gets up and Wiseman goes to grab him, but Xander grabs him by the throat. The crowd roars and Chastaine and Rayne dropkick him again, knocking him through the ropes. Sire lets go of Evans and Evans rolls out of the ring.

Sharper: “Xander knocked to the floor. Chastaine and Raynes take Starr and Xander down. Wiseman getting shots in. Sire outwrestling Evans. Volleyed back!”

Winters: “Not enough revenge to say the least. Sire was brutalized last week. They beat them at Flawless, but Wiseman and Sire, along with Chastaine and Raynes making clear they’re far from done!”

Sharper: “Starr didn’t get to take out Wiseman like he wanted. Xander same issue. But Chastaine, in her home town, and Raynes joining this. They’ve had a greater respect for Adrenaline Rush…showing that here.”

Starr backs up and he looks at Wiseman and Sire. Wiseman turns to him as Xander walks around the ring. He turns back around and the crowd cheers for Wiseman, Sire, Raynes and Chastaine. They continue to stand tall in the ring as Amy turns to Tucker to help him up and Thomas stirs with Raynes helping him out.

We open up backstage to see Angelica Jones watching the match on a monitor. She then turns away before we see Jessica Lasiewicz standing in front of Angelica Jones. The crowd cheers a bit.

Angelica: “What do you want?”

Jessica: “You still don’t realize what’s happening?”

Angelica: “If you’re going to preach your hatred of Silas to me…leave me alone.”

Jessica: “Just think about it…earlier today, did he go to bat for you for a title shot? Or just his Perfect Baby or the one he’s trying to win over.”

Angelica: “You don’t understand, Jess.”

Jessica: “Think about it.”

Angelica: “I’m out.”

Angelica then walks off as Jessica Lasiewicz watches her mother leave. She then shakes her head.

MOMENTS AGO:

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of the security checkpoint backstage before we see Mr. D walking into the building with his assistant. He has a shiner on his face from the Another Day in Paradise last week.

Winters: “He’s here!”

Sharper: “Well during that skirmish, the boss arrived. Mr. D is here.”

Winters: “Look at that black eye.”

Sharper: “The signs of the Another Day in Paradise. What is going through his head and what decisions may he make tonight?”

Mr. D continues to walk past the camera with his assistant as we then cut to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

We return from commercial to see Marisa Condolesa standing outside of the office of Mr. D.

Condolesa: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am standing outside of the office of our boss. As we just showed you before the commercial break, he arrived moments ago. He immediately went into his office. I tried to get a word with him, but he simply ignored me and went inside. I’ve knocked, but no response as of yet. Unfortunately at this point, we have no indication of what Mr. D is thinking regarding the end of Breakdown last week.”

Condolesa pauses.

Condolesa: “Back to ringside.”

Sharper: “Thank you Marisa.”

We then cut to ringside and open up at the announce table to see Adam Sharper with Shawn Winters and Jonathan Knots.

Sharper: “Well we’ve been joined out here by Jonathan Knots and that’s because next week, Breakdown will be not be taking place in its regular format. Instead, we will be seeing the first night of the Best of the Best Tournament. We’ve got a cast of many who will be helping us broadcast this and we’d like to take a moment to thank all of our broadcast partners. It will be a huge, huge undertaking.”

Sharper turns to Winters.

Winters: “It will. Sixty-four individuals in this thing. Every active wrestler in SCW and even some we haven’t seen in a long time. Four cities we start in. The rounds of sixty four and thirty two will take place in those cities, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. From there, the round of sixteen will be in Brooklyn on the Sunday. Round of eight in Chicago before the semi-finals and the finals in two weeks on Breakodwn in Oklahoma.”

Sharper: “And all of the brackets have a lot to them. A lot of opportunity, to either break through and make an impact or to reaffirm your position on the roster. Someone could end up beating the World Champion in this one!”

Knots: “Kennedy Street is not going to lose. The fact of the matter is that she’s a number one seed for a reason and the overall number one. The fact of the matter is that we’re going to see some big matches, but the fact that Keenie needs to be in this is just abuse of power!”

Sharper: “Everyone on the roster is in it. Syren is the number one seed in Seattle. Kelcey in Memphis. Kennedy Street in Dallas and Ravyn Taylor, the SCW United States Champion in Toronto. The Toronto and Dallas brackets start next Wednesday. We’ll start in Toronto and continue to Dallas. Memphis and Seattle on Thursday. All four, first time in SCW history, four events will go on simultaneously. Now let’s take a look at the brackets here. First, where we’ll start, Toronto.”

The brackets come up on the screen for Toronto as “Heavy is the Head” by the Zac Brown Band with Chris Cornell starts to play:

(1) Ravyn Taylor

(16) Da Boss

(8) Donovan Kayl

(9) Celestia Lockeheart

(5) Trinity Street

(12) Shaya Blackley

(4) Lucas Knight

(13) Axel Porter

(6) CHBK

(11) Alexis Quinne

(3) Xander Valentine

(14) Derek Adonis

(7) Katie Steward

(10) Alex Young

(2) Shaun Cruze

(15) Craig Thomas

Sharper: “Some big matches as you can see. And some interesting ones too.”

Knots: “Well Ravyn Taylor looks to have an easy route to the round of sixteen. This Da Boss guy is a brand new signing, isn’t he.”

Sharper: “We don’t know much about him. He’ll be making his debut in the tournament.”

Winters: “A lot of pressure there. But look at some of these matches. Katie Steward and Alex Young going at it. Silas World against Keenie’s Court there and the fact of the matter is both are those two of wrestlers that they can shock you. Katie a former World Champion and I’m not stupid enough to bet against her. Alex Young, well, he’s been surprising since day one.”

Sharper: “We also will have another debut in this bracket. Celestia Lockeheart, a student of SCW Hall of Famer, Dillusion, will have a tall order. She’ll face off against the experienced Donovan Kayl. A tough start for her. Shaun Cruze and Xander Valentine are other individuals to look out for.”

Knots: “Not just that, we could see Lucas Knight and Trinity Street fight in the second round and what about Alexis Quinne and CHBK. Quinne tosses Collin Cole out of PUNK HAZARD last summer. He now can face off and maybe beat his mentor!”

Sharper: “That’s where we’ll start. Those eight matches to kick us off before we cut to Dallas, Texas.”

The brackets for the Dallas bracket come up.

(1) Kennedy Street

(16) Sammy Thomas Davies

(8) James Evans

(9) Gable Winchester

(5) Rachel Tatum Lee

(12) Havoc Warrior Exodus

(4) Chris Cannon

(13) Jessica Lasiewicz

(6) Dawn Lohan

(11) Stacy Kissinger

(3) Shilo Valiant

(14) Tyler Tucker

(7) Merrick Wiseman

(10) Nicole “Ducky” Kinneck

(2) Regan Street

(15) Dante McCaffery

Sharper: “Come familiar faces to say the least.”

Winters: “Two stick out. James Evans returns after disappearing after losing the Underground Champion and faces the hot Gable Winchester. But the one I’m going to watch. I’d love to see how Merrick Wiseman deals with her. Nicole Kinneck is back. She’s nuts. She’s nuts!”

Knots: “At least Keenie will have a long time before she’ll have to maybe deal with her. I’m looking at that bottom match too. Regan Street will face Dante McCaffery and imagine if Regan Street loses there….Keenie would be so happy, but Silas would be so angry!”

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant also part of this. A highflying accord awaits him with Tyler Tucker and that would be a hell of a feather in his cap. Dawn Lohan meanwhile has called this the Bracket of the Death. Some tough matches no matter who comes out of the first round.”

Knots: “And you and I will be there to call it Sharper!”

We then see the Memphis brackets come up on the screen.

(1) Kelcey Wallace

(16) Sterling Hero

(8) Brittany Lohan

(9) Dylan Howell

(5) Tommy Valentine

(12) Angelica Waters

(4) Aiken Frost

(13) Anthony Wallace

(6) Autumn Valentine

(11) Gigi Steward

(3) Jake Starr

(14) Alexander Crowe

(7) Matt Auclair

(10) Collin Cole

(2) David Helms

(15) Andrew Raynes

Sharper: “Then starting on Thursday, we start in Memphis. Kelcey Wallace faces off the newcomer Sterling Hero and that should be interesting. I say this because rumour has it that Sterling Hero has asked for the match to be changed as he is terrified of facing a woman. I’m not sure. This is a rumour. But with that interesting wrinkle, some of these other matches could be very interesting. Anthony Wallace returns and he’s got Aiken in the first round.”

Knots: “Those two could have a fight to end all fights. Both can brawl. That’s going to be tough to keep going in the ring.”

Winters: “Jake Starr meanwhile has someone that some fans may recognize. Alexander Crowe and Crowe is Syren’s boyfriend. After the fallout Starr and Syren had, that could be a sleeper match and there’s a lot of drive for Crowe to pull off the upset.”

Knots: “And the Autumn, who seemingly hates everyone. She’s got someone she knows well. Gigi Steward. Autumn may want to make a statement, but Gigi has Silas Mason’s backing. This is a different situation for her.”

Sharper: “David Helms also in this bracket, along with Matt Auclair who will face Collin Cole. Some tough matches to call. This I feel could be the sleeper bracket of the tournament. A lot of people with chips on their shoulders and needing to make statements in this one.”

Finally, the Seattle bracket comes up on the screen.

(1) Syren

(16) El Rudo

(8) Harmony Fisher

(9) The Real Speed

(5) Rachel Foxx

(12) A$AP Scrappy

(4) Christy Matthews

(13) Freddie Collins

(6) Angelica Jones

(11) Alexander Sire

(3) Selena Frost

(14) Kordy

(7) Simon Lyman

(10) Sienna Swann

(2) Red Rayne

(15) Amy Chastaine

Sharper: “And then the final bracket, in Seattle, headlined by Syren as the number one seed.”

Knots: “And El Rudo, he’s going to knock her back down to earth.”

Sharper: “Red Rayne in the number two seed and Amy Chastaine will have a long night, but look at possible second round matches.”

Winters: “Red Rayne could face off against Simon Lyman or Sienna Swann, but I wouldn’t sleep on Amy Chastaine. Rayne is a sexy choice only because she did so well in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament, but Amy Chastaine shocked us last week.”

Sharper: “And she’d love to do it again.”

Knots: “Not Sienna!”

Sharper: “That could happen. Kordy will face Selena Frost and they’ve done some jousting on Twitter. Alexander Sire also gets a shot at Angelica Jones. Jones may want to send a final message to Wiseman in that one.”

Winters: “She said it last week, Dragon unleashed!”

Knots: “And in there too…The Real Speed! He’s back and trust me, that former World Champion can outthink everyone.”

We then see the Best of the Best Tournament logo come up on the screen.

Sharper: “Folks. Nowhere else in professional wrestling are you going to see a tournament like this. It will take a week. Single elimination. Sixty four SCW stars to go at it.”

Winters: “We’re going to see who has the best stamina, skill, and probably luck.”

Knots: “Keenie!”

Sharper: “We’ll see about that. Someone is going to have to win seven matches to win the inaugural tournament and think of the bragging rights on the line.”

Winters: “Stars could be made in this one, and add the momentum, the mental edge going into Taking Hold of the Flame.”

Sharper: “Exactly. Big stakes and bragging rights. It starts next week, next Wednesday at 7 p.m. EST!”

The logo remains on the screen for a few moments.

We then cut backstage to see Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon in their locker room with Shaya Blackley and Shaun Cruze. Cannon walks out and Kelcey then does with Shawn Mason following them. The door closes behind them as they take a few steps and Kelcey Wallace stops before Autumn Valentine walks over to them, the SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder.

Cannon: “Ready, Autumn?”

Autumn: “I am…but I heard your comments earlier…”

Kelcey looks down.

Autumn: “I don’t care whether you hit him intentionally or not. What I care…is if you’re going to get pissed off and take my head off, just because you know damn well I feel Syren deserves that shot more than you….tell me now, so I know.”

Kelcey: “Autumn-“

Autumn: “Sorry you had a tough year Kelcey. But don’t get pissed off at others because you screwed it up yourself.”

Autumn turns and walks off. Kelcey just grits her teeth. Shawn turns to Kelcey and stops her from doing anything rash.

Cannon: “Hey!”

Kelcey: “Chris!”

Cannon stops and turns back to Kelcey.

Kelcey: “Leave it. Let’s just get through this match.”

Kelcey and Cannon then walk off camera with Shawn Mason.

Knots: “Ha! They can’t get along.”

Sharper: “Autumn Valentine teams with Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon to face Alex Young, Dylan Howell and Alexis Quinne, next here on Breakdown and it looks like tensions already flaring!”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We cut again to the interview room to see Spirit Dansby in her seat now with Lucas Knight, the SCW World Tag Team Championship over his lap.

Spirit: “I am joined by Lucas Knight. Thank you for joining me.”

Lucas: “No problem, love.”

Spirit: “You have won the Trios Tournament before so you know what this means. The opportunity. Previously you used it to get a match against CHBK-“

Lucas stops Spirit and holds his hand up.

Lucas: “Look, I understand that son of a bitch has our contracts and yes, he likes taunting us. The fact of the matter is that this time, I’m not going to waste this contract on the likes of him. See, he likes playing with people. He likes mind games. I know too well. So does Trin. The fact is though that we love kickin’ ass. Just like when we won the Tag Team Championship. Doesn’t matter who it is. Can be the pathetic like Lyman and Kayl…can be the assholes like CHBK…or can be those who need to reconsider their options like Perfect Impact, we get it done.”

Spirit: “So then, the obvious question is what you plan to use that Trios Tournament contract for.”

Lucas: “It is a good question. Too bad I don’t have an answer.”

Spirit: “You haven’t thought about it?”

Lucas: “Really, it’s not something I’m worryin’ about. The fact of the matter is that I hold this title right here. I could aim for the World Title. I could even aim for the Adrenaline Title just to say I’m a Supreme Champion. But with Trinity by my side, I’m happy. And since I’ve got lots of time with the contract, I’m gonna take my time and pick my spot.”

Spirit: “So then, I’ll ask the question I’m asking to everyone…does that involve picking your spot before Rise to Greatness? Will you cash it in before Rise to Greatness?”

Lucas smirks.

Lucas: “We’ll find out, but right now, SCW is safe. At least from me.”

Lucas smiles as he leans back.

Spirit: “Thank you for your time.”

Lucas: “Anytime.”

The Breakdown logo comes up on the screen as we cut away.

Autumn Valentine, Kelcey Wallace & Chris Cannon vs. Alex Young, Dylan Howell & Alexis Quinne

The trumpets sound as the chorus for “Exodus” by Ernest Gold begins to play to play. The spotlight then turns to the middle of the entrance way. Suddenly Kelcey Wallace rises from the floor standing on a stone pillar posed as the Venus di Milo, she looks out into the crowd the whole time in her wrestling gear, long sleeve vinyl cut off top, matching shorts, knee pads and knee high boots with "Perfect 10" written on her buttocks. Her hair slicked back in a ponytail. The music continues to play as she continues to look out to the crowd as they cheer her on, Shawn waits as she slowly steps down from the pillar. Chris Cannon walks out from the back and he turns to Kelcey Wallace and the two briefly kiss before turning and starting to head to the ring as Shawn Mason leads them.

Shawn gets on the apron and holds the ropes open for her as Kelcey steps in then holds them open for Shawn as he follows. Kelcey climbs the turnbuckles and raises her arms as Shawn claps and watches on; she removes her head crown and drops it on the mat looking around the crowd and smiling, hugging Shawn as the "Perfect Mind" drops down to the floor and into her corner. Chris Cannon hops onto the apron and enters into the ring and goes to the opposite corner and poses himself too.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon and Kelcey Wallace about to team up here. We know they obviously can work together. A bit odd thought in one sense. Shaun Cruze has been Kelcey Wallace’s usual partner.”

Knots: “Yeah and how do you think Cruze threw out his back?”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Knots: “What? Shaun Cruze has been acting all buddy buddy with Kelcey. Chris even worked with Trinity Street and Lucas Knight. Look how that went.”

Winters: “Well some tension to say the least. I’d be second guessing things, but hell, remove all doubt. Show how well you two work together.”

Knots: “A bit of a challenge with Autumn Valentine there. She wants everyone’s attention!”

The lights dim slightly and the spotlights point down at the stage as the fans quieten in expectation. A woman whispering can be heard across the PA system.

“Don’t bless me father, for I have sinned...”

“Miss Nothing” by The Pretty Reckless begins playing across the PA system as the fans erupt in boos. As the boos continue to ring out Autumn Valentine walks through the curtain wearing a pink ring-jacket with the words DARK FANTASY on the back, spinning around on the stage before holding her arms out to the side and posing on the stage, enjoying the reaction of the fans. The SCW Women’s Championship is over her shoulder.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Autumn grins at the camera before blowing it a kiss and skipping down to the ring. She jumps on to the ring apron and climbs up on to the ropes, sitting on the top rope for a second before flipping over and landing on her feet in the ring. She runs to the furthest corner and leaps up, raising her arms in to the air and further enjoying the reaction of the fans before again flipping out of the corner and landing on her feet. She circles the ring before walking to the opposite side and posing on the ropes, one foot on the bottom rope and one on the middle rope, and holding her hand to her ear mocking the crowd. She takes off the ring jacket before putting it in her corner. She then turns to Kelcey and Cannon. Cannon stands between Kelcey and Autumn as Kelcey and her trade a few words.

Knots: “And it starts already. Autumns’ probably telling Kelcey that she punted her title hopes away. Kelcey is probably telling Autumn that she’s not perfect with that ass.”

Sharper: “You’re just loving this, aren’t you?”

Knots: “I do. Everyone wants a piece of Keenie and they all forget one thing…No one is ever going to beat her again.”

Winters: “Well if I was still competing, I’d take the shot.”

Knots: “Yeah, but you’d probably get some time with her without needing to come out of retirement.”

Winters: “Well duh.”

Sharper: “Great. This is going to be a great pleasure for me to be out here with you two.”

The eyes all focus on the stage as A Stranger I Remain hit's over the P.A System. The crowd starts to buzz as Alexis Quinne walks out from the back as well as Grundy and El Rudo. Alexis is sporting a green, silver and black beater with PUNK HAZARD on the front. El Rudo has a bucket of powder in one hand and a pole with a PUNK HAZARD flag on it. Grundy is sporting an black jumpsuit with the PUNK HAZARD logo on the back in green. The San Francisco native looks at the crowd. She starts her trout down to the ring with Rudo and Grundy.

I've come here to save you
And I can already taste the kill
Like caressing an angel
Burning up in the atmosphere
And with the blood of a dying star above
My true aesthetic's unwinding
And I'm about to come undone

Alexis points to her PUNK HAZARD t-shirt to the camera while sticking her tongue out and mocking the audience members. Meanwhile El Rudo and Grundy are following her. El Rudo antagonizes the fans while Grundy scares some of them with his near presence. Alexis looks at some of the members of the audience before Alexis walks up the steel steps and goes under the bottom rope. El Rudo places his trust bucket on the apron before sliding in the ring with the flag pole. Grundy frantically starts going after the nearest cameraman.

Phillips: From San Francisco, California, representing PUNK HAZARD, ALEXIS....QUINNNNE!

So don't let me become the one you love
'Cause I'll just take your blood and use you up
I know it's tempting to jump off the edge and fly
But this is not a dream
So don't let me become the one you love

Here I come

Once she enters the ring, El Rudo then raises the PUNK HAZARD flag up high to boos. Alexis smiles widely as she points to it and then she ascends the nearest turnbuckle. She makes mocking faces towards the audience while mouthing off. Alexis jumps off and sits on top of the turnbuckle in the corner with a smirk on her face, looking right at Autumn while El Rudo stands on the apron with Alexis. Grundy remains on the outside, kicking the steel steps.

Sharper: “PUNK HAZARD out here. Notice, no Dante McCaffery.”

Winters: “Well he knows if he shows up, Autumn may go for him, but Syren may get him and take his head off.”

Sharper: “Syren faces him later tonight. That’s going to be interesting to see what happens there.”

Alter Bridge’s “Come to Life” begins to play as the entire arena is bathed in gold lighting and the arena is transformed into a place of class and royalty. The lyrics kick in about thirty second into the song, and slowly Alex Young walks out onto the stage looking unimpressed at the fans booing him. He shrugs it off easily and starts heading towards the ring, a confident smirk forming on his lips. He hops up onto the apron and takes a moment to wipe his feet on it before stepping between the ropes. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and smirks out into the sea of booing fans before hopping down and beginning to warm up for the match ahead.

Knots: “Alex! You’re the man! You’ve got this.”

Sharper: “Alex Young has had a rough time in big matches. He’s gotten close. Nearly Adrenaline Champion. Nearly US Champion. Just needs to put it all together.”

Knots: “And Kennedy is helping out there. She gave him specific marching orders.”

Sharper: “Oh?”

Knots: “Pin Kelcey Wallace. Right in the middle of the ring. His career would be made.”

The lights go out and as Van Halen's powerful anthem "Top of the World" begins, white strobe lights do as well. Soon appearing on stage is Dylan Howell, dressed in a black leather jacket with red shorts and boots, both bearing his initials. The crowd boos and Dylan Howell looks around before shaking his head and heading down to the ring. Once he arrives at ring side, Dylan heads up the stairs. He takes his jacket off and looks at Quinne and then to Young. Young and him nod before he turns and looks at Kelcey, Autumn and Cannon who stand in the ring.

Winters: “This prick and Young actually on the same page.”

Sharper: “Howell joining Kennedy’s group. Pledging allegiance.”

Knots: “Dylan and Alex saw the big picture.”

Sharper: “Interesting only because a month and a half ago, they did not care for each other to say the least. And also, Dylan Howell gets a chance to get his hands on Kelcey Wallace after losing the World Tag Team Championship to her.”

The referee calls for the bell. The bell sounds. Autumn runs across the ring to get to Quinne. Quinne quickly rolls out of the ring. She reaches out to grab her, but Young pulls her back in and throws her down. Kelcey and Cannon try to head over, but the referee blocks them. Autumn gets up and Young clotheslines her down. Autumn hits the mat and rolls over. Young then grabs her and lifts her up before scooping her up and slamming her down. Autumn winces and Young grabs her and pulls her up again and runs her over to the corner. Autumn hits the top turnbuckle and then turns. Young grabs her and whips her across the ring. Autumn hits the opposite corner and bounces out and Young back drops her down. The crowd boos and Alexis demands a tag. Young grabs Autumn by the arm and pulls her towards the Keenie Sympathizer corner and tags in Quinne. Quinne enters and Young holds the arms of Autumn and Quinne stomps her in the chest.

Sharper: “Quinne now getting in. Early on after Alex Young got the advantage.”

Winters: “Hey it works. Aggression can be a powerful tool. Autumn hates Quinne and that feeling is mutual.”

Quinne stomps Autumn again and grinds her boot into the ribs of Autumn. Autumn shoves her back and starts to get up. Quinne shoves her back down and nails her with a couple of forearm shots. The crowd boos and Autumn covers up again. Quinne pushes off and gets up and looks around. She smirks as she then turns and heads over to Autumn and pulls her up. She then throws her into the ropes. Autumn bounces off and Quinne hits a dropkick. Autumn hits the mat. Quinne goes for the pin.

Autumn gets her shoulder up.

Knots: “This could be Taking Hold of the Flame right here. Quinne could be champion!”

Sharper: “They will face off again there, Women’s Championship on the line. Some controversy about that one.”

Knots: “Oh come on! How?!”

Sharper: “Well, she gets a shot despite what she did at Clash in K.C.”

Knots: “They hate each other.”

Winters: “That’s all we needed all these years?!”

Quinne turns and grabs Autumn and pulls her up before nailing her with a vicious forearm. Autumn hits the mat. Quinne then smiles and runs into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a flipping senton, but Autumn rolls towards her. The crowd roars. Autumn starts to get up and Quinne gets up and Quinne quickly rakes the eyes of Autumn. The crowd boos. She grabs Autumn and goes to whip her into the ropes. She hits the ropes, but Kelcey tags herself in. Autumn bounces off and Quinne notices this and grabs Autumn and trips her up. Quinne then mocks Kelcey before posing like her when she comes up on her pedestal. Kelcey steps forward and stops. Autumn then comes up from behind and clotheslines Quinne down. Howell goes to enter and Kelcey runs across and nails him with a forearm. He falls off. Autumn rolls out of the ring and Quinne starts to get up and Kelcey goes over to her and clubs her in the back.

Sharper: “Autumn nailing Quinne with a hell of a shot. Howell down thanks to Kelcey!”

Knots: “Cheap shots!”

Winters: “Hey! Take the shot. Unless it gets you DQed, go for it.”

Knots: “Hey, wait a minute?!”

Kelcey clubs Alexis again and turns before whipping her into the ropes. Quinne bounces off and Kelcey kicks her in the ribs and then hooks her up and hits a snap suplex. Quinne winces and Kelcey gets up as Howell starts to get up onto the apron and into the ring. Kelcey looks at him and tells him to come into the ring. Cannon warns Kelcey as Kelcey turns around and Quinne turns and tags in Young. Young enters the ring and Kelcey grabs at him, but Young nails her in the ribs with a shot and then another one. He turns and whips her into the ropes as Howell stays on the apron. Kelcey bounces off and Young lifts her up onto his shoulders. Kelcey elbows out and slides down before hitting a Russian leg sweep.

Sharper: “Great counter into the leg sweep.”

Winters: “And right into a pin.”

Knots: “Certainly not flawless!”

Kelcey rolls through for the pin.

Howell breaks it up. He then pulls him up and Chris Cannon enters the ring and runs over to him. He nails Howell with a shot and then another as Young and Kelcey stir. The crowd roars and the referee breaks them up. Howell rolls to the floor. Cannon backs up.

Sharper: “Cannon coming in to stop Howell as Howell got his hands on Kelcey!”

Winters: “Finally got it.”

Sharper: “Things heating up here in this one. Six person tag team action, it continues, when we return!”

The scene slowly fades to black as Kelcey grabs Young and gets nailed with a jawbreaker.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see Young getting through into the corner as Cannon watches him. Young turns around and Cannon scoops him up and powerslams him down.

Sharper: “Big powerslam! Welcome back to Breakdown. Six person tag team action here!”

Winters: “And Chris Cannon just got in and everyone better run and hide!”

Sharper: “Finally in the match officially and Cannon is going after Young!”

Young rolls over as Cannon gets up. Howell and Quinne look on and Cannon runs over to Howell and nails him with a hard right. Howell falls off the apron as the crowd cheers. Young gets up and Cannon runs at him and clotheslines him down. He goes for the pin.

Young kicks out. Cannon grabs him and drags him up. He then spins him around before hooking him up and hitting a back suplex. Cannon gets up and Howell slides in. He goes to run after him and Cannon just smirks before grabbing Young and pulling him up and throwing him into the corner. The crowd cheers as Cannon kicks away at Young as Howell keeps trying to get to him. Cannon takes a few more shots before stopping and pulling him up. The referee turns around as Howell exits. Cannon then pulls Young up and takes him over with a belly to belly suplex.

Sharper: “Cannon taking advantage of the rules.”

Winters: “He got the memo.”

Knots: “Please! He’s the arm candy for Perfection. Shouldn’t he be held to some impossible standard?!”

Cannon hooks the leg.

Young kicks out. Cannon pulls him up and hooks him up. He then goes to lift him up and hits a vertical suplex. Cannon rolls over as Autumn and Kelcey just stand watching the ring, not saying anything to one another. Cannon exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. Howell turns and heads over to him. The referee gets Howell back and Young runs over and falls into the ropes. Cannon lands hard on the top turnbuckle. The crowd ohs. Young looks at him and nails him with a hard right. He then backs up and turns and tags in Howell. Howell enters the ring and runs across the ring and nails Kelcey. The crowd ohs and Kelcey staggers back. Autumn looks at Howell and smirks at Kelcey before Howell ignores Autumn and runs over to Cannon who starts to lift his head and hits a running dropkick.

Sharper: “Howell taking advantage of Cannon on the top rope. Nails Kelcey. Then the dropkick.”

Knots: “Well Cannon protected Kelcey before. Couldn’t there!”

Cannon falls into the ring. Howell gets up and looks at Cannon. He pulls Cannon away from the ropes and lifts him up before hitting a vertical suplex. Howell rolls through and into a pin.

Kelcey starts to enter as Autumn watches. Howell looks up as Cannon kicks out and points to her. The referee tells her to exit. Howell then turns and grabs Cannon and drags him up. He elbows him in the back of the head and hits a kick to the chest. Cannon pops up and Howell hits a clothesline. Howell then smirks as he runs into the ropes and bounces off and hits an elbow drop. He gets up and looks around before telling Cannon to get up.

Knots: “Oh yes! He’s waiting. He’s planning. He’s going to drop Cannon on his head.”

Sharper: “He’s taking his time though. Cannon getting a chance to get back into this.”

Cannon slowly stirs as Howell watches. Cannon gets up and Howell goes for the German suplex with a waistlock. Cannon however blocks it and elbows Howell in the face. Howell clubs him in the back and then again and again. Howell tries again, but Cannon blocks it and elbows Howell in the jaw and then again and again before running into the ropes as Howell lets go and Cannon jumps up and takes Howell down with an inverted leg drop bulldog. Cannon rolls through. The crowd cheers. Cannon then turns and looks at the corner as Howell starts to reach for his partners.

Sharper: “Chris Cannon has a chance to get out and tag in Autumn Valentine or Kelcey Wallace.”

Winter: “Same for Howell though too!”

Knots: “Both Pint-Sized Awesomeness and Alex Young are ready to go!”

Howell continues to move forward and dives over and tags in Quinne. The crowd roars. Autumn stretches out more, but Cannon ignores her and tags in Kelcey. The crowd cheers as Autumn glares at Kelcey as she enters the ring. Quinne runs over and Kelcey runs at her and drills her with a clothesline. The crowd roars. Autumn watches as Quinne gets back up and Kelcey kicks her in the chest with a straight kick. Young enters and Kelcey ducks a clothesline attempt as Cannon then grabs him and hoists him up and suplexes him out of the ring. The crowd roars as Cannon then exits to the apron. Quinne turns back to Kelcey and Kelcey pulls her in and hits a short-arm clothesline before pulling her up and hitting the Pretty Girl Drop. Kelcey goes for the pin, but Howell enters and pulls her off. Kelcey pushes him off as Autumn just looks on and Cannon dives onto Young on the floor.

Sharper: “Kelcey pulled off. Autumn is just standing on the apron.”

Winters: “She wants in against Quinne. She wasn’t tagged in and she’s just glaring at Kelcey Wallace!”

Wallace gets up and Autumn demands a tag, but Kelcey grabs Quinne and Quinne suddenly counters with a jawbreaker. Kelcey falls back and Howell gets up and grabs her from behind with a waistlock. The crowd boos as Quinne gets up and smiles before running into the ropes. She bounces off and goes for a flying clothesline, but Kelcey ducks and Quinne nails Howell. Howell falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Kelcey runs into the ropes and bounces off. Quinne turns around and Kelcey drills her with the Another Day in Paradise. Cannon throws Young away as Young falls over and into the barricade.

Sharper: “Cannon gets Young away. In the ring!”

Winters: “Didn’t miss this time!”

Sharper: “The Another Day in Paradise!”

Knots: “Well the boss wasn’t in the ring!”

Kelcey goes for the pin.

The crowd cheers and Kelcey rolls off of Quinne. Autumn then enters the ring and looks at her. Kelcey has her arm raised and Autumn pushes it down. Kelcey then turns as Autumn looks at her.

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and Autumn Valentine victorious, but Autumn isn’t too pleased.”

Knots: “Like she could’ve kicked the ass of Pint-Sized Awesomeness!”

Autumn yells at Kelcey as Kelcey just shakes her head and walks out of the ring. Autumn turns and goes to continue to berate her. Kelcey backs off as Chris Cannon joins her with Shawn Mason. The three then start to make their exit. Autumn then turns around as Howell pulls Quinne out of the ring and Quinne joins Grundy and Rudo and starts to back away. Autumn then turns and looks down before snapping at Quinne. She backs off.

Winters: “Autumn focused more on Kelcey. You got the win. Be happy!”

Sharper: “She wanted her hands on Quinne. She’ll have to wait though. I doubt she’s going to try and take on all of PUNK HAZARD.”

Knots: “Unless she’s a moron!”

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon shaking off the distractions of last week. They’re victorious with Autumn Valentine despite the tension. Much more to come here tonight though. And we expect some response from the boss.”

Knots: “Yeah! Kelcey should be out of here”!

Sharper: “Please…Breakdown continues after this.”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm glad to hate you but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)

I'll try to picture me without you but I can't

We then see a shot of Alexis Quinne and PUNK HAZARD carrying their banner.

'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long

If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals,

immor immortals

Immortals

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown here in New Orleans. Adam Sharper here with Jonathan Knots and much more still to come tonight including the Underground Championship on the line.”

Knots: “Well that should be a fight, but I’m waiting for the boss to lay the hammer down on Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and hell, throw Shaun Cruze and others too. She is not perfect. She assaulted him and frankly, Keenie deserves better challengers than that.”

Sharper: “We expect to hear from him later tonight still. Much more still to come. We also want to take a moment now to wish the best to those in Baltimore, including one Donovan Kayl. He is now in Toronto, having gotten out last night, but still we ask all of our fans to be safe in Baltimore.”

Knots: “Kayl in the middle of a riot. Simon Lyman out on the shelf. He may not be back for the tournament. Standing Room Only may be done!”

Sharper: “Well, that’s another issue. Simon Lyman having some medical issues. He’s convalescing at home. We hope to see him next week, but nothing is certain at this point.”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system.

Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts her fan base to jump out of their seats and start clapping for their Goddess.

Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. However instead of playing to the crowd, Katie Steward just continues on her way to the ring. TJ Johnson follows her to the ring. Katie Steward reaches the ring and climbs up the stairs and into the ring. She walks across the ring as TJ Johnson hops onto the apron and enters in after her.

Sharper: “Katie Steward walking to the ring with purpose.”

Knots: “Maybe Silas Mason sent her out.”

Sharper: “Or maybe she’s realized that Silas Mason has no plan for her regarding the Tag Team Championship.”

Katie demands a microphone and Jason Phillips walks over and hands her one. She takes it and turns back to the entrance way. She looks around as TJ turns to her and says something to her, but Katie ignores TJ and begins.

Katie: “I’m out here for a simple reason. There is a snake in the grass backstage in this building and I want him removed!”

The crowd boos a bit.

Knots: “What? Maybe it is Silas? Oh God! Think about this Katie!”

Katie: “See, I know he’s here. I saw him. I saw him backstage and he’s going to try and ruin my career again. So I’m coming out here to make sure everyone knows my formal complaint. I want Marcus V. Lopez removed from this building.”

Sharper: “MV?!”

The crowd cheers.

Knots: “Oh God…that idiot is here. Yeah! Someone toss him out. Maybe the boss can focus on that too!”

Katie looks around. TJ says something to her. Katie ignores him again.

Katie: “Marcus has managed to make a mockery of my goal to become the World Tag Team Champion! He’s putting himself in matches, trying to prove himself. He got involved at Retribution. I want him out of here. I brought him back. I got him his contract. I think I should have the ability to end it! Marcus should be gone from SCW so I don’t need to worry about him ruining mine, Sienna’s or Silas’ plans again!”

Knots: “Yeah!”

Katie: “So security, get back there and find him-“

Just then, we see a masked man fight his way through the crowd frantically and make his way over the barricade. The man turns and slides into the ring. TJ points him out to Katie. Katie turns.

Katie: “Security! Security! He’s here! He’s out here!”

The masked man looks around, holding his hands up, frantically trying to get Katie to stop.

Sharper: “A masked man has entered the ring.”

Knots: “It’s MV! It’s probably his latest stupid plan!”

Sharper: “How do you know? He’s wearing a mask!”

Knots: “That’s why I said stupid plan! Everyone knows its him!”

Katie looks around, trying to see if security is coming. TJ looks around too. The masked man just tries to keep calming them down.

Katie: “Security, he’s here-“

Just then, Marcus V. Lopez walks out from the back, on the stage, in his street clothes. Marcus points at the masked man behind Katie as Katie turns and notices him and looks confused.

Katie: “What…oh no…this is some trick. This can’t be. You can’t be there…this is you!”

Marcus keeps pointing at the person behind Katie. Katie then is spun around and the masked man grabs Katie and hits a single underhook impact DDT. The crowd ohs. TJ turns and dives onto Katie to protect her as the masked man rolls to the floor. MV runs down to the ring and slides in as the masked man runs around the ring and then heads to the back. MV turns and starts to head over to Katie as TJ then turns and snaps at him to get back. MV steps back confused.

Sharper: “Marcus coming to the ring to help Katie!”

Knots: “He’s no help. I don’t like this! He got Katie attacked!”

Sharper: “He just wants to help her!”

The crowd continues to buzz as we see Marcus V. Lopez back up as TJ checks on Katie Steward.

We then open up backstage to see Marisa Condolesa standing by with Ravyn Taylor in the locker room area.

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentleman, I am here with the SCW United States Champion, Ravyn Taylor and Ravyn, we’re a week away from the Best of the Best Tournament, but we’ve also not heard of anyone stepping up to you to challenge you.”

Ravyn just smirks and turns to Condolesa.

Ravyn: “For once, I don’t need to say that much. Let’s hope, starting next week in Toronto, someone steps up.”

Ravyn then turns and walks off. The crowd gives a bit of a mixed reaction.

Sharper: “She’s the number one seed in the Toronto bracket. She’s starting to get more and more confident by the week. Will someone surprise her?”

Knots: “Well I’m sure I can find someone who may want to take that title from her?”

Sharper: “Oh?”

Knots: “I’ll keep you posted!”

Sharper: “So you have no one…Breakdown continues after this!”

We then cut away to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to see Rachel Foxx and Rachel Tatum Lee walking through the hallway. Rachel Foxx just looks ahead, dragging her gear and Underground Championship behind her. There’s also a pregnant woman with them, walking between the two.

Knots: “Requiem here and who is that?”

Sharper: “That woman with them…pregnant…is that what Rachel Foxx was referring to last week?”

Rachel Foxx heads over to what is their locker room and opens the door. She holds it open for the pregnant woman who walks through. Rachel Tatum Lee goes in after and Foxx stops her and turns to her.

Foxx: “You know what to do. I don’t care what they do to me…but if they come after her….KILL THEM…”

Tatum: “Don’t worry…just worry about kickin’ Auclair’s ass.”

Rachel Tatum Lee then walks into the room.

Knots: “I think you’re right Sharper.”

Sharper: “I think Rachel Foxx has made sure she can keep an eye on that woman with New Eden running around!”

Knots: “And that would explain why Aiken was even concerned!”

Foxx follows in after and closes the door as we cut away.

Angelica Waters vs. Merrick Wiseman

1, 2, 3....GO!

The intro starts on the speakers as ‘Step Up!’ hits and the lights go dim. Strobe lights hit as Angelica slowly makes her way out and just looks around at the crowd as they erupt with boos. She scoffs them and she poses in the middle of the ramp as more pyro goes off. She makes her way down to the ring and she just slides under the ropes and then she poses in the middle with a dominant look on her face.

Sharper: “Waters had a hell of a go at Clash in K.C. but was unable to get the revenge she wanted.”

Knots: “Well hopefully she’ll realize that Lohan has her own issues and Waters should stay out of them!”

‘Justice... Will Be Done’.

The lone riffs of a single guitar echo the familiar chords that herald the entrance of SCW`s peacekeeper before we hear a voice begin that fateful entrance.

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

From the curtain emerges Merrick Wiseman. His head down, his long coat waving a little, the camera closing in for a second on the light playing on his silver Texas Ranger badge, and his hands tracing along his guns.

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

The crowd sings along the chorus as Merrick slowly raises his head, showing his masked face. He suddenly draws one of his pistols and fires into the air and at the ring apron down the ramp as the crowd goes nuts.

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

As he walks down the ramp, Wiseman keeps his eyes focused on the ring and for any signs of trouble. Meanwhile, he reaches into his belt, taking out bullet after bullet and reloading his gun. Just about when he is done, he has reached the ring and loads the barrel.

Now I walk these streets, this six string in my hand
Still playin' for keeps, cause I might not make it back,
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces (seen an awful lot of faces)

Wiseman pulls back the hammer and suddenly crouches down and pulls up the ring apron, pointing his gun inside.

And I’ve rocked them all!

Standing up, he twirls his gun and puts it back in the holster. He walks up the stairs, slowly taking off his gun belt, which he leaves draped over the back of the turnbuckle. He takes off his coat, placing it on the metal pole. He gets into the ring and raises his hands for the referee to make sure he isn’t carrying anymore bullets or guns. The ref clears him and he takes off his hat slowly for the audience before tossing it cleanly on the pole.

I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive

Merrick leans on the ropes staring at what awaits him in the ring.

I still drive, dead or alive

Sharper: “We’ve already seen Wiseman once tonight. He’s been watching the show, but also came out to help Adrenaline Rush when Jake Starr and Xander Valentine came out to take them out.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, I’m not sure if I want to applaud him or hate him for it!”

The bell rings and Waters and Wiseman circle each other slowly. Wiseman looks to entrance way and holds up a hand. He slides out of the ring and walks halfway up to the ramp. Slowly, he looks throughout the crowd while the ref starts to count him out. He walks over to the nearest security guard while Angelica leans on the ropes, telling Wiseman to come back in. Wiseman holds up his hand to Waters and speaks to the security guard. Almost immediately, the guard pulls out a PAD and hands it to Wiseman who checks on some things, nods to the guard and slides back into the ring. Angelica looks to him with a shrug. Wiseman motions for her to come at him and she steps forward. Wiseman goes for a collar elbow tie up but Waters drops fast and tags him in the knee with a low drop kick.

Sharper: “Right to the knee. Waters has proven to be damn good at submissions.”

Knots: “Make him tap. It’ll make me laugh more! Justice be done!”

Wiseman hobbles over to the turnbuckle. Waters rushes forward and dropkicks Wiseman again, this time in the back, sandwiching Wiseman into the turnbuckle. Wiseman stumbles back and Waters grabs him from behind. Before she can go for ‘Angel in Disguise’, Wiseman elbows her in the side of the head several times, driving her away. Wiseman turns and grapples with Waters, pushing her back into the corner. He drives his elbow into the side of Angelica’s head. Angelica holds up an arm to block another hit, but Wiseman just put his weight behind it and drives another home.

Waters goes limp in a faze. Wiseman backs up a few steps and charges forward with a clothesline in the corner, crushing the much smaller Angelica. He pulls Angelica forward, sets her up and lifts her body in the air with a hard suplex. He hoists up Waters and locks her into a headlock. Waters tries to push him off, but he’s too heavy. She tries to pull out of the lock, but to no avail. Wiseman wrenches on Angelica’s head, keeping her away from the ropes. Wiseman adjusts his stance and Waters uses that, tripping Wiseman over onto the mat. As Wiseman tries to get up, Waters lunges at Wiseman’s leg, grabbing his foot.

Sharper: “Angelica is going for the leg!”

Knots: “Come on! Twist! Twist and pull!”

Wiseman rolls over and brings his other foot up, kicking Angelica away. Angelica tries to rush forward but Wiseman counters, launching Angelica high into the air with a back body drop. Waters lands hard. As she rolls over, Wiseman drops an elbow into the small of Angelica’s back. He goes for another but Waters rolls out of the ring holding her back. She leans on the retaining wall. Wiseman leans on the ropes and watches her.

The referee on the outside checks with Waters who shakes it off and goes get back into the ring. Wiseman holds up his arms and gestures for her to get in. She gets in slowly, and Wiseman does not move. Waters gets up slowly and the two stand off from each other. The referee motions for them to continue.

Sharper: “Wiseman stepping back. Letting Waters get set.”

Knots: “Stupid move.”

Both of them put their hands up, circling each other again slowly. They feign punches or kicks, trying to fake out the other. As the crowd starts to make some noise, Wiseman glances over to the entrance way again, and Waters leaps on the opportunity, raking Wiseman across the eyes. Temporarily blinded, Merrick can’t block the cops and punches that come in a flurry from Waters. She pushes him into the ropes, and then whips him across the ring. As he bounces back, Waters runs forward and his him with a knee to the solar plexis. Wiseman flips over and hits the mat. Waters follows it up with a solid kick to the spine. She then bounces off the ropes and comes back with a kick to the head. She quickly covers.

But Wiseman practically throws Waters off of him. As Wiseman gets up, Waters bounces off the ropes and takes him down with a clothesline. He gets up and she does it again. Third time, Wiseman ducks but Waters keeps running, bounces off the ropes and connects with a flying lariat. She covers, but this time, she almost gets a 2 before Wiseman kicks out.

Sharper: “Nearfall, not enough.”

Knots: “Too bad she didn’t take his head clean off. That would’ve made things much more interesting.”

She gets Wiseman to his feet and slaps him across the chest with another chop. Followed by another, staggering him into the turnbuckle. She goes for a third but Wiseman blocks and counters, throwing her into the turnbuckle and unloading punch after punch until the ref gets between then. Wiseman backs away and then hoists the dazed Waters onto the top rope. He tries to move up but Waters pushes his arm away. He tries again but Waters kicks him away. Wiseman moves away, as Waters stands atop the turnbuckle. When Wiseman turns, Waters leaps off the turnbuckle with a cross body block. As soon as she draws near, Wiseman however, counters the momentum into a super powerslam. He covers.

Waters gets a shoulder up. Wiseman hoists up Angelica and whips her into the ropes, slamming her into the mat with a samoa drop. The ring shakes as they land, and Wiseman covers.

Angelica kicks out again. Wiseman picks her up, attempting another suplex. This time, Waters lands on her feet, turns, and grabs Wiseman from behind, tripping him back with a Russian leg sweep. Both stay down as the ref checks on them.

Both are breathing heavily but not moving.

The crowd suddenly starts to roar as from the rampway walks Jake Starr, with a steel chair in his hand. The security guards rush to intercept him, blocking his way to the ring. Starr just holds up his hands innocently. The guards don’t see Xander Valentine coming from the crowd, hopping over the retaining wall and jumping to the apron. He watches Wiseman gets up, who eyes Xander and rolls up the sleeve on his right arm.

Sharper: “What the hell is he doing here? Haven’t they done enough!”

Knots: “He just wants to watch. Why not? He’s just going to have some fun!”

The referee meanwhile runs to intercept Xander but Valentine pushes him away down to the mat. Wiseman, meanwhile leaps over Waters, and as Xander turns his head back from the downed ref to Wiseman. Before Xander can realize what is happening, Wiseman leaps with his exposed forearm, connecting it square on to Xander’s face. Xander falls down hard, reeling from the blow.

Sharper: “Xander dazed from those forearms! Wiseman using them expertly!”

Knots: “What the hell? Xander is out of it! Wiseman must have gotten more of them that I thought!”

Jake Starr, seeing his associate down tries to push away the security guards who separate him from the chair. Meanwhile, while Wiseman’s back is turned, Waters comes from behind Wiseman and rolls him up. The referee hits the mat.

1…

2…

But Wiseman kicks out. Waters looks around at the two men outside the ring, and focuses on Wiseman as he gets up, she spins him around and sets him up for ‘Remember the Name’. As she drops, Wiseman brings his arms together and traps her, hoisting her back up and over with a tiger suplex. He doesn’t have enough strength to hold onto it for a pin, but Waters holds her shoulder in pain. She uses the rope to get up as does Wiseman. Both get up at the same time and charge. Wiseman goes for the Superman Punch, but Waters ducks, bounces off the ropes, and goes for a lariat. Wiseman ducks that too and bounces off the ropes. When the two meet in the middle of the ring for the third time, Wiseman unleashes a huge boot identical to Xander’s. Waters goes down in a heap.

Sharper: “A boot! Shades of Xander Valentine!”

Wiseman lifts up Waters, and doubling her over, lifts her up and nails the Sideswipe Gavel. He hooks the leg.

1…

3…!

The bell ring as Wiseman gets off Waters and turns to face Valentine who holds the bridge of his nose, and Jake Starr who stands at the entrance way. The security force Xander back as Wiseman rolls out of the ring and more security come out to escort the former SCW Champions away from the ring.

Sharper: “Security coming down to prevent Xander Valentine or Jake Starr from doing anything more. But Merrick Wiseman has to know for certain that in the future, they will be there!”

Knots: “Good! Good! I hope this justice crap goes to hell and a handbasket for him then!”

Wiseman looks on as we cut away.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up to the interview room again to see Spirit Dansby for the third time in the night. With her, we now see Trinity Street seated across from her, the World Tag Team Championship on her lap.

Spirit: “Welcome back again and I’m now joined by Trinity Street, one half of the World Tag Team Champions. Trinity, thanks for joining me here.”

Trinity: “Get on with it.”

Spirit nods.

Spirit: “You’ve been vocal in your hatred of CHBK but also to get your hands on him in a wrestling match-“

Trinity: “Trust me when I say that I would love nothing more than to kick his ass in that ring. For what he did to my family, to me over the years and continues to do to the Street name.”

Spirit: “Then are you going to use your Trios Tournament contract to face him.”

Trinity stops and looks down and shakes her head.

Trinity: “I’m not stupid. See, CHBK owes me a match. He can claim that he’s given it. But sorry, not my first rodeo. The fact of the matter is that I will get my chance to face him, in a match or not and frankly, with Lucas by my side and the fact that he’s still running around feeding lies and who knows what else to Mikaela…that ass-kicking will come sooner or later, but not with this Trios Contract!”

Spirit: “Fair enough. Then, what are you thinking about doing with that Trios Contract?”

Trinity smiles.

Trinity: “That’s the beauty. I may not be doing anything with it.”

Spirity: “Excuse me?”

Trinity: “I have plans with it, but I made a certain offer to someone. See, you should be asking Kelcey Wallace about what my Trios Tournament shot may be going to.”

Trinity leans back.

Spirit: “I don’t understand-“

Trinity: “I realize that you may be good to look at, but clearly not too bright. I offered my Trios Contract to Kelcey Wallace.”

Spirit: “But why would you do that? You’ve made it clear you want to go after a number of people, including Kennedy Street?!”

Trinity: “And who says that I wouldn’t be getting at her this way.”

Trinity smiles.

Spirit: “Well, thank you for your time here-“

Trinity: “I hope someone is smart enough to talk to Kelcey. I’m also getting tired of waiting.”

Spirit just looks a bit stunned as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.

Shaya Blackley vs. Brittany Lohan

"I Am Machine" by Three Days Grace blasts over the loudspeakers as the lights in the arena go out and the fans instantly start to boo heavily when they recognize whose theme song it is. Just a spotlight focuses on the curtains of the entrances the clips once again fades away into the words that read: “Bleeding you is more than just torment.”

The curtains slowly start to part as ONE WOMAN ARMY walks out first. She stands at the top of the ramp. Next comes Brittany Lohan, she slips through the curtain like a slithering snake. She stands next to OWA at the top of the ramp and she looks like everything, but relaxed as her whole body is tensed looking like she’s ready to strike at the drop of a dime like a coiled cobra. Her icy eyes pan around the arena and the fans closest to the ramp and she snarls at a few of them get a little too vocal with her. However, the moment that her eyes catch the glimpse of the ring she shuts the fans out and turns all of her attention to the squared circle.

With clenched fists, gritted teeth, and glaring icy eyes, Lohan starts to make her way down to the ring methodically with Angelica following her. Lohan is taking slow, calculated, but powerful steps towards the ring. Her icy glare is so fixated on the ring that it would seem to appear that she doesn’t realize that the arena is nearly sold out. The way that she looks right now it might as well be empty for all she cares.

As she nears the squared circle, Lohan slows down to a snail’s pace as she proceeds to walk around the perimeter of the ring with her eyes closed. When she’s satisfied she opens her eyes and reaches up to grab the bottom rope with her right hand and pulls herself up onto the apron only allowing one knee to touch before she rolls into the ring. OWA stands on the outside watching Britt.

With Lohan in the ring she gets on both of her knees, closing her eyes, as she lifts both of her arms up into the air. She holds that position for several seconds before she slows climbs up to her feet, but then as if a switch was flipped somewhere her entire presence changes. It intensifies as she starts to warm up by running off the ropes and doing some stretches as she waits for her victim of the night. Lohan’s video finishes up with the words: “…Just stand there and stare as my world crumbles.”

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan returning to action here on Breakdown. Last week, she came out and confronted David Helms.”

Knots: “She’s just still bitter about the fact that she’s losing her usefulness as a hired hand. The fact is that she’s just drifting and now taking it out on everyone! Did you hear what she said about Silas?”

Sharper: “I did and frankly, she may have some points.”

The illustrious opening of "The Final Countdown" begins to play and the runway is bathed in the splendid glow of gold lighting.

As the main riff begins rocking the arena, Shaya Blackley hits the entrance ramp with more energy than a concert. Decked out in a black and gold jacket and matching hotpants and sports bra, Shaya walks boldly through the entranceway and marches toward the ring. Male fans of all ages whistle in delight. Shaya halts halfway down the catwalk, and dances to her theme in a very sassy manner, easily flowing into its rhythm. Without pause, the fans sing the renowned lyrics as one when Shaya hits the ring.

Leaping inside, her smile as bright as the noonday sun, she climbs a turnbuckle to pump an arm in the air and point a single index finger to the sky - an obvious challenge to whoever lurks in heaven.

Sharper: “Shaya Blackley return hasn’t been as strong as she would have liked.”

Knots: “Perfection doesn’t transfer eh?”

Sharper: “She’s showing a bit of rust, but we’ll see what she can do against Brittany Lohan.”

The bell sounds. Shaya runs into the ropes and bounces off before stopping. Lohan watches her. Shaya then runs at her and Lohan goes for a clothesline. Shaya ducks and bounces off the other side. Lohan turns around and Shaya hits a jumping dropkick. Lohan hits the mat. She rolls over and gets up and Shaya jumps up and hits another dropkick. The crowd roars again. Lohan gets back up and Shaya comes over and kicks her in the thigh and then again. The crowd cheers some and Shaya grabs Lohan and Lohan shoves her back. Shaya rolls through. She gets back up and Lohan gets up to her feet and Shaya runs over and kicks her in the thigh again.

Sharper: “Shaya is going for the legs. All of the attacks using her educated feet and going for Lohan’s thigh.”

Knots: “Well that’s one way to ground her.”

Lohan grimaces as Shaya grabs her and forearms her in the jaw and then hits a knee to the shoulder. She runs into the ropes and bounces off them. Lohan gets up and Shaya jumps up, but Lohan just grabs her and throws her back. Shaya rolls through and gets up and Lohan nails her with a swinging elbow, knocking her down. Shaya starts to get up and Lohan scoops her up and slams her down. She then hits an elbow drop before going for the pin.

Shaya kicks out. Brittany gets up as Shaya rolls over. She grabs at the ropes and Lohan walks over and viciously clubs her in the back. Shaya crumbles down to her knee. Lohan pulls her up and drags her to the middle of the ring and goes for a back suplex. Shaya, however, back flips through. Shaya lands on her feet. Brittany turns around and Shaya jumps up and hits a gamengiri to her face. Lohan falls over.

Sharper: “And again, a kick to the face. That jump up enziguri-type kick to the face.”

Knots: “Well give credit to her. She knows she may as well go big.”

Lohan starts to get back up and Shaya grabs her and pulls her over with a school boy.

Lohan kicks out. Both get up and Shaya runs at her and hits a spinning heel kick. Lohan hits the mat. Shaya turns and exits to the apron. She climbs up to the top rope and looks at Lohan and Lohan starts to get up. Shaya then dives off and goes for a missile dropkick, but Lohan sidesteps her and Shaya crashes to the mat. The crowd ohs. Lohan then walks over to her and picks her up off the ground in a gutwrench before lifting her up and dropping her down with a gutbuster.

Knots: “Jesus! She just picked her up and dropped her down!”

Sharper: “Pure strength and power and then all of the added impact of getting dropped across her knee, ribs first!”

The crowd ohs as Lohan pushes Shaya over and goes for the pin.

Shaya kicks out again. She rolls over and Lohan grabs her and drags her up. She elbows her in the back of the head before elbowing her again and then turning and throwing her into the corner. Lohan looks at her and holds her against the turnbuckle before elbowing her in the jaw. She steps forward and then elbows her again. Lohan hits a third elbow before then grabbing her and hip throwing her across the ring. Shaya slowly gets up and Lohan grabs at her. Shaya kicks her in the leg, but Lohan forearms her. She then lifts Shaya up and plants her with a sidewalk slam. Shaya winces and Lohan folds her up for a pin.

Shaya gets her shoulder up. Lohan looks at her.

Sharper: “And Shaya kicks out again. She’s got heart. She won’t quit.”

Knots: “Yeah, but she’s just pissing off Lohan who is starting to just pound away.”

Sharper: “Punishing offense, but Shaya is making Lohan work for it.”

Shaya rolls over and Lohan just looks at her. She pulls Shaya up and clubs her in the back again. Shaya then hits a straight kick to the ribs and then turns and hits a knee. She runs into the ropes, but Lohan runs into the other ropes and Shaya bounces off only for Lohan to drill her with the Pounce! The crowd ohs and Shaya rolls over. She starts to get up and Lohan then jumps up and hits the For Your Eyes Only. The crowd ohs and Lohan goes for the pin.

Knots: “And Lohan hits a kick of her own!”

Sharper: “First the pounce. Then the For Your Eyes Only. That’s gotta be it.”

Lohan hooks the leg.

Lohan gets up and looks at Shaya. She slowly makes her way to her feet as OWA looks on and Lohan holds her arm up. The referee raises it as well as her music plays. Lohan looks around the ring as she turns to Shaya and then turns to One Woman Army and exits the ring. She walks down the steps before walking around and we cut away.

We open up backstage to see Syren standing by with Jessica Winters at the SCW interview area. The crowd cheer seeing her.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Syren and in a few moments, you’re going to face off against the man who cost you the SCW World Championship.”

Syren: “Well I said last week that I can’t entirely blame him. It’s clear that PUNK HAZARD is so firmly up Kennedy Street’s ass that they can no longer think for themselves. I hope he enjoyed his moment in the sun. Because tonight, he’s going to be a bit of a break for me. No…it’s not because I think he’ll be an easy target. Far from it. The fact that he’s pretty much an unknown as he’s only had a handful of matches here makes him very dangerous. But it’s a break in the sense that for however long I have him in the ring, I’ll be thinking about showing him what that World Title meant to me. And then, I’ll go back and waiting to see what Mr. D has to say about the World Title situation. If Dante McCaffery thinks I’m going to be any calmer than I was last week…he doesn’t know what being World Champion means to me.”

The crowd cheers. Syren then turns and walks off.

Sharper: “Oh man. Dante McCaffery is in for a long night. He faces off against Syren, next, here on Breakdown!”

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage to see Marisa Condolesa now standing in front of the locker room door of Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon and Shaun Cruze. The crowd cheers a bit.

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. I am standing outside of the locker room of Kelcey Wallace, Chris Cannon, Shaun Cruze and Shaya Blackley. I was originally scheduled to speak to Shaun Cruze at this point regarding his announcement regarding his physical condition and the importance of the Best of the Best Tournament for him. After Trinity Street’s interview played earlier, I figured I would take and get a comment from Kelcey Wallace as well regarding her allegations. However, they refuse to speak with me. Shawn Mason came out and respectfully declined. Right now though, if Trinity Street is telling the truth, the World Championship situation has an addition wrinkle to it. If I get a chance to speak to anyone, I’ll let know.”

Marisa Condolesa then pauses as Christy Matthews walks over. She then looks at Marisa before turning to the door.

Marisa: “Christy?”

Christy: “She’s got a chance at what she wants…the funny thing she’d be pulling what she harped on last week with Starr and Syren.”

Marisa: “Did you come here just to offer your analysis on Kelcey Wallace? I wasn’t aware there was any tension-“

Christy: “There’s not. Just have from time to think.”

Christy walks off as Marisa looks at Christy a bit confused.

Marisa: “Ah…back to ringside.”

We cut to ringside.

Sharper: “Thank you Marisa. Christy Matthews with another cryptic message. Some frustrations there…And with Kelcey not speaking…Cruze neither….that situation is getting interesting.”

Knots: “Kelcey Wallace see is just showing she’s self-interested and egotistical. Trinity Street wants to ruin Kennedy Street that bad! Well, Kelcey probably knows it’s a lost cause! Kennedy already turned back her challenge!”

Syren vs. Dante McCaffery

“Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system as the lights dim and the spotlights focus on the stage, flashing intermittently between white and pink. After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage to a huge reaction from the crowd. She stands in the middle of the stage looking out at the fans before smiling at the camera and, as the camera gets closer to her, leaning in toward it with a confident nod. “I think they’re ready for the best female wrestler in the world,” she tells the camera with a smile. The fans continue to cheer as she turns around, pointing at the back of her ring-jacket where we see the words ‘Just Be Jealous’ accompanied by her heart-logo.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

She spins back around again before pointing at the ring, leaning in to the camera again and smiling once again before telling the camera, “that’s it; it’s time to steal the show!” The crowd cheer more as she begins to walk down toward the ring, slapping hands on the way down to ringside before stopping at ringside and jumping up on to the apron. She looks around again at the cheering fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to another cheer from the fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring, climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air. After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down, walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle turnbuckle, waving at the fans and blowing another kiss out to the crowd. After several more seconds she leaps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle.

Sharper: “Syren getting ready to face Dante McCaffery. She made it clear what she thought. And she’s waiting for Dante.”

Knots: “Well she should be backstage wondering if she’s ever going to get a title shot again, but no, she wants some petty revenge.”

Sharper: “Dante cost her the World Title!”

“Divine Hate” hits the PA system, drawing boos from the audience. Once the song kicks into gear, Dante McCaffery emerges from the curtains with sunglasses on his face, a white dress shirt with a black and green tie and his hands inside his dress pants. He removes his hands from his pockets and slowly runs them through his brown hair before he places his left hand back inside and starts his trot down the ramp.

Dante walks down to the ring, once again placing his hands inside his pockets. Dante soon pauses and stares at the audience to his right for a moment. He then later turns his head and uses his right hand to make “shoo” gestures towards the fans. Dante starts unbuttoning his dress shirt and unfastening his tie as he gets closer to the apron. He then walks up the steel steps before entering the ring. As he goes to enter, Syren runs towards him. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren’s not waiting!”

Knots: “Get her back!”

Dante quickly jukes back and drops down to the floor. The crowd roars as Syren then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. She runs at Dante as he backpedals and Syren blasts him with a forearm shot. He falls back and into the barricade. Syren runs over to him and nails him with a forearm and then another before Dante shoves her back hard. She hits the mats and Dante walks along the ringside area before rolling into the ring. Syren gets up and rolls into the ring. The bell sounds. She gets up and runs at Dante and Dante covers up as Syren nails him with a forearm and then another. He falls over to the ropes. Syren then stomps him a few times as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Syren all over Dante McCaffery. He’s covering up as Syren forearms and stomps away at McCaffery!”

Knots: “The referee needs to get her off or disqualify her!”

Dante keeps covering up and Syren stomps away. The referee calls for the break.

Syren backs off and paces around the ring. She yells at Dante to get up. Dante looks out and slowly starts to pull himself up. Syren then runs at him, getting around the official and kicks him in the ribs. She then pulls him out and knees him in the chest. He falls over and gets to the ropes. Syren turns and goes after him, but Dante hits an elbow to the jaw. Syren falls back and starts to get up. Dante then turns and grabs Syren and starts to rake her eyes. He then starts to drive his fingers into the eyes of Syren. Syren falls back and Dante continues to drive his fingers into the eyes. Syren tries to get him off, but Dante keeps leaning in. The referee calls for the break.

Sharper: “Come on! Driving the fingers into the eyes of Syren!”

Knots: “Well now it’s a bit of turnabout. She won’t stop. Neither will he!”

Dante continues to push down.

The referee warns Dante again before then calling for the bell. Dante keeps digging in and the referee turns back to him and Syren manages to get his hands away. Dante rolls over and right out of the ring. He then looks back at Syren as he turns, holding her eyes, rubbing them.

Sharper: “He just got himself disqualified!”

Knots: “Good! Maybe Syren will get the hint that you don’t mess with those affiliated with Keenie!”

Sharper: “Give me a break. Trying to end her career!”

Syren rubs her eyes as the referee checks on her. She shoves him away and starts to get up. Dante backs up and looks at Syren before turning around and heading to the back. The crowd boos as Syren squints, continuing to rub her eyes. Dante walks to the back and disappears through the curtain. The crowd continues to boo as Syren looks up, her eyes reddened from the eye gouge.

COMMERCIAL:

We open up backstage to see Dante McCaffery walking into the locker room of Kennedy Street. Ethan von Aaron applauds him as there is some cheering from PUNK HAZARD too. Dante just looks around.

Dante: “I don’t need any of that. Just doing what was needed.”

Ethan: “Well maybe she’ll get the hint to not mess with us.”

Dante: “Mmm-hmm.”

Kennedy then walks into view.

Kennedy: “Now, Dante, you did well tonight, but there’s another special task I need you for.”

Young just looks at Kennedy a bit unhappy. Dante just nods.

Kennedy: “You’ve got Regan Street in the first round of the tournament, right.”

Dante: “Yes, that waste of time-“

Kennedy: “Oh no, honey. It won’t be. I want you to make sure Regan Street doesn’t win.”

Dante just nods.

Dante: “Fine.”

Kennedy: “Excellent.”

Kennedy smirks as the crowd boos and we cut to ringside.

We return to ringside to see Mr. D walk out from the back. The crowd cheers a bit as Mr. D makes his way down to the ring.

Sharper: “Here we go. The boss making his way to the ring.”

Knots: “Time to crucify the title hopes of some people. Let’s do this!”

Mr. D walks down to the ring and up the steel steps. He then enters into the ring and looks around before going over to the far corner and being handed a microphone. He takes it and turns back to the middle of the ring. The crowd roars a bit as the camera gets a good shot of his face and the black eye.

Knots: “Ouch. Look at that eye. Looks like a black eye to end a career.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Knots: “What?! I didn’t kick him in the face! Maybe he’ll realize that Keenie is his most loyal wrestler!”

Sharper: “Please. Between you and others surrounding Dylan Howell you’ve spent the last week on Twitter making Kelcey’s life hell.”

Knots: “Well shouldn’t she feel guilty?!”

Mr. D looks out to the crowd before starting to speak.

Mr. D: “As many of you know, last week, I attempted to intervene in a situation between Kelcey Wallace and Syren. At the end of it, as I was trying to make cooler heads prevail, I was struck in the head by an errant kick from Kelcey Wallace.”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction between some booing the situation and others cheering Kelcey Wallace.

Mr. D: “Now, a lot of people have wondered what I would do when I came out here. What type of decision would I make and how it would affect not only Kelcey Wallace, but Syren and even the World Champion Kennedy Street.”

Mr. D pauses again. He then looks down.

Mr. D: “See the old me, the one who’s dealt with such individuals like Greg Cherry or the Jake Starr of old or even Jason Zero, Lethal Weapon or CHBK of years past, would probably see the attack as some sort of subconscious assault and drive Kelcey Wallace’s life further into a living hell. And full disclosure, I had some role in helping Kelcey Wallace get her freedom from Silas Mason from the legal side of things…”

Mr. D looks at the crowd as the crowd cheers.

Mr. D: “But I’m not looking to screw anyone over and frankly, Kelcey Wallace made a mistake. She let her emotions get the best of her and frankly, with both Syren or Kelcey Wallace, I understand how badly they want an opportunity to prove…or reprove themselves against Kennedy Street.”

Mr. D looks at the main camera.

Mr. D: “But I’m not coming out here to deliver some punishment even with the black eye I have. I am out here because I understand mistakes happen. But what I heard and then watched in my office was Kennedy Street, our World Champion, pretending that she had the authority to book matches. First off, I’ll go with the obvious…The Flawless Gauntlet is not happening and it’s not sanctioned as least not until me and the Board of Director rule on it. So sorry for those unhappy about that, but Kennedy Street is not going to making people run through all those who think they deserve more just to protect herself.”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction. Mr. D however continues.

Mr. D: “But earlier tonight, Kennedy Street agreed to defend her World Championship against Sienna Swann at Taking Hold of the Flame and while I admire that Silas Mason wants to finagle his way into any situation he can, Kennedy Street is not the person making the matches around here.”

The crowd roars.

Mr. D: “I understand that you made a handshake deal, but I’m not sold that Sienna Swann is the number one contender. The fact of the matter is that if you want to face her on your free time, that’s all well and good, but I’m going to make that decision and Kennedy…I’ve not decided yet who will face you at Taking Hold of the Flame. That…I’m going to see how the Best of the Best Tournament shapes up…I’m going to take my time and I’m going to determine who best deserves the next shot at you. It could be Kelcey Wallace…it could be Syren…or it could be someone else. But Kennedy…you’re not calling the shots. I am…so you better deal with that.”

Mr. D then turns and hands off his microphone. He turns around and walks over to the ropes and steps through them.

Sharper: “A level-headed response-“

Knots: “Please! Come on! Suspend Kelcey! Suspend Syren too and to question Kennedy….this is disgusting!”

Mr. D continues on his way to the back.

“Immortals” starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of Matt Auclair and then a shot of Rachel Foxx before showing the SCW Underground Championship logo and both.

Sharper: “Folks, from that, we go next to what will be a war! Rachel Foxx will face off against Matt Auclair, next, here on Breakdown. The SCW Underground Championship is on the line!”

Knots: “Well, time to get the protective boxes up!”

Sharper: “It’s going to be next!”

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return to Breakdown to see a shot backstage filming Mr. D and Syren from a distance. Syren and Mr. D are having a heated argument as Syren keep fiddling her with her eyes.

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown. The boss talking to Syren now.”

Knots: “Syren’s pissed. Nothing new there.”

Sharper: “I’m sure about the McCaffery/Syren match we just saw. And Kennedy Street pleased about that.”

The scene continues for a few moments with no words being picked up before we cut back to ringside.

Matt Auclair vs. Rachel Foxx

SCW Underground Championship

The distorted tune of Chimaira’s “Pure Hatred” blast out through the speakers at a volume that likely has every non-death metal fan covering their ears. Red lights are pulsing on stage in tune with the song as Matt Auclair storms out onto the stage. He has since stopped wearing the arm sleeve but still wears the black fingerless glove on his right hand, though not by choice. He's also wearing a black leather jacket now. Fans in the front row remain silent while those a safe distance away from him start booing. Auclair just scans over the arena with a death glare, though when the traditional death metal scream opening of the lyrics comes up, Auclair rears back and lets out a primal scream of his own right along with it. As the lyrics, which are appropriate in Matt's mind for his current situation, kick in the brawler begins to storm down the ramp with only pure malicious intent on his mind. Once at ringside he slides in and heads straight to his corner, where he pulls off his jacket and awaits the bell by impatiently pacing back and forth like a caged animal ready to strike.

Sharper: “This was the match we expected to see at Clash in K.C.”

Knots: “A travesty…not as much as what we just saw-“

Sharper: “Come off it Jon! While Kennedy Street may have to actually wait and see, the fact of the matter is that this situation with Rachel Foxx has gone to the bizarre and despicable.”

Knots: “I didn’t say that. I don’t know what’s going on, but we saw the woman who is the surrogate for Rachel Foxx brought here earlier. She’s not thinking straight!”

Sharper: “Well, Rachel Tatum Lee is with her. Foxx out here alone. But what does that mean for Matt Auclair.”

The lights in the arena go dark as “Take me to Church” by Hozier plays through the dark arena.

“My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it”

As the bass line comes in, white strobes begin pulsing from the entryway, in rhythm with the music, illuminating the plume of smoke which is rising from the stage.

“My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you—

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.”

As the “Amens” ring out, the arena goes dark again and remains that way until the chorus rings out and the white light once again illuminates the entryway showing Rachel Foxx slowly emerging from the smoke, dragging the SCW Underground Championship behind her. She is wearing a black zip-up hoodie with “MERCENARY” written in what looks like red paint on the back. The hood covers her head, but her emotionless eyes still stare out with a far away look as she slowly makes her way down the ramp to the ring, never acknowledging the intense reaction of the crowd around her as an eerie calm and coldness radiates from her. At the bottom of the ramp, she slowly climbs the stairs and slowly makes her way into the ring with none of her usual theatrics. Once in the ring, she then suddenly runs at Matt Auclair and swings the Underground Championship belt at him. Auclair ducks and Foxx falls over to the ropes. The bell sounds.

Sharper: “Foxx! Coming out! Swinging with the title!”

Knots: “And Auclair moved. Foxx still looks not all there. I wouldn’t want to be in there with her.”

Sharper: “Auclair meanwhile has a sadistic smile, but I don’t know if he realizes what he’s unleashed.”

Knots: “Well he was knocked out at Clash in K.C. He’s probably pissed too!”

Foxx turns around and Auclair nails her with a clothesline and she goes over the top rope to the floor. Foxx rolls over to the announce table as the SCW Underground Championship logo comes across the screen and goes to the bottom corner. Auclair steps through the ropes and grabs Foxx and Foxx reaches up and into the eyes of Auclair. She digs in yelling out as the crowd roars. She rakes the eyes and Auclair falls over to the steel steps. Rachel then gets up and steps onto the bottom step before jumping up and stomping Auclair’s hand. He falls back, shaking out his hand as Foxx drops down and looks under the ring before reaching out and pulling out a steel chair. She lifts it up and Auclair turns around and swings for a hard right, but Foxx turns and nails his fist with the chair. The crowd ohs as Auclair falls back, holding his hand in pain.

Sharper: “Foxx with the chair. Auclair’s fist was the target! That could take away that powerful weapon!”

Knots: “That’s just going to piss him off more. Both are so ticked off here. I don’t even want to be here at ringside.”

Sharper: “These two love these matches with no rules and with their frames of mind, this could be more violent than we’ve seen in months.”

Foxx then lifts the chair up and turns and nails him in the ribs with it. Auclair falls to the announce table and Foxx lifts the chair up again and coldly looks at Auclair before slamming it down across his arms. The crowd ohs and Auclair falls back again. Foxx then turns and throws the chair into the ring. Foxx then turns and looks under the ring again. She looks around before grabbing a kendo stick and throwing it into the ring. She then reaches under again and grabs her sledgehammer as the crowd roars. She throws the ring skirt down and turns to Auclair who kicks her in the ribs before she can use it. Auclair then headbutts Foxx and Foxx falls back. Auclair then sees the sledgehammer and lifts it up before turning and throws it into the ring. Auclair shakes out his arms.

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx went for the sledgehammer early! Auclair saw it and telegraphed it!”

Knots: “And now he’s gotten rid of it. He’s never liked using weapons, but with Foxx going after the fists, should he turn there?!”

Auclair grabs Foxx and then turns and throws her hard into the steel steps. The crowd ohs and boos. Foxx rolls over in pain. Auclair then walks over and grabs her by the hair before pulling back and shaking out his hand. He stomps her instead and grabs Foxx before dragging her up. He then rolls her into the ring. Auclair slides in after her and Foxx starts to get up and Auclair moves over and knees her in the ribs. The crowd boos. Auclair knees her again and then headbutts her between the shoulder blades. Foxx falls to the mat. Auclair then turns and grabs the steel chair and looks it at. He holds it up before looking at his fist and then turning and slamming it down across the back of Rachel Foxx. The crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Looks like he is going to use the weapons. Chair to the back of Foxx.”

Knots: “Well that hand must be bothering him.”

Sharper: “Not just that, but he’s going for the pin!”

Auclair then rolls Foxx over and goes for the pin.

Foxx kicks out. Auclair looks at her and grabs her by the hair and pulls her up before hammerfisting her in the face. He pulls her up again and hammerfists her again. He pulls her up again before hammerfisting her a third time and Foxx falls to the mat. Auclair then grabs the steel chair he had used and unfolds it and places it in the middle of the ring. Foxx stirs and Auclair grabs her and pulls her up before waistlocking her. He lifts her up, but Foxx then headbutts him and starts to bite him in the nose. The crowd roars. Foxx then jumps up and hits a Foxx Girl Cutter onto the seat of the chair. Auclair falls back and Foxx rolls over. She starts to get up and crawls over to the sledgehammer.

Sharper: “Foxx with the cutter on the chair!”

Knots: “Well Auclair was looking to drive her through it. Foxx just dropped him on it.”

Sharper: “This is a fight. A hell of a fight here in New Orleans.”

Foxx grabs her sledgehammer when we see Auclair start to get up and Foxx turns and drives the end of the sledgehammer into the ribs of Auclair. Auclair falls over and onto the seat of the chair. Foxx then walks around the ring and the crowd roars. Foxx looks around before suddenly, we see a shot backstage to see Rachel Tatum Lee and Red Rayne trading blows backstage. The crowd roars. We hear the impact of each shot as Tatum and Rayne trade shots.

Sharper :”Backstage…wait! Rachel Tatum Lee and Red Rayne. The sisters! They’re fighting!”

Knots: “And look at Rachel Foxx!”

Foxx turns and exits the ring. She then starts to run to the back, dropping the sledgehammer. She runs to the back as the crowd roars. We then cut to the shot backstage and see Rachel Tatum Lee managing to knee Rayne in the ribs and throwing her into the wall.

Tatum: “Not gonna get in here!”

Tatum nails Red Rayne with a couple of stomps as Red Rayne rolls over. Just then, we see Dawn Lohan running over and jumping over Red Rayne before tackling Rachel Tatum Lee down. The crowd ohs and boos.

Sharper: “Dawn! Dawn Lohan coming in!”

Knots: “Whatever they’re doing…Rachel Foxx just ran back there too!”

Tatum gets up and Dawn knees her in the face and nails her with a couple of forearms while on top of her. Tatum covers up and Dawn gets some more shots in before Dawn grabs Tatum and drags her up. She then turns and runs her over before throwing her into the wall. She staggers back and continues down the hallway. We cut back to ringside to see Matt Auclair grabbing the sledgehammer Rachel Foxx dropped and heading to the back. The referee follows him with the Underground Championship. We cut back to the backstage area to see Dawn throw Tatum down and stomp away on her.

Sharper: “Matt Auclair heading to the back. The official with him. This Underground Championship match is still going on.”

Knots: “Yeah, well right now, that’s not the main concern! Dawn Lohan is stomping the hell out of Rachel Tatum Lee!”

Red Rayne starts to get up and walks over to the locker room door nearby that says Requiem on it. The crowd roars and Red Rayne opens the door, but suddenly, Rachel Foxx comes into the arena and grabs Foxx and nails Rayne with a forearm and then another. Red Rayne turns and nails her with a forearm. Rachel Foxx spins around. Dawn Lohan turns her attention from Rachel Tatum Lee and we then see Dawn Lohan walk over as Foxx kicks Red Rayne in the ribs. She turns around and nails Dawn Lohan with a hard right. She falls back. Rachel Tatum Lee then gets up and grabs her, taking her down. Rachel Foxx turns around and Red Rayne then spews the Bloodbath into the eyes of Foxx. Foxx staggers back and falls over, holding her face and yelling in pain. She falls to her knees. Just then, Red Rayne turns as Selena Frost comes into view. The crowd roars and Selena nails Rayne with a kick to the ribs. Red Rayne and Selena Frost then trade blows as Dawn Lohan and Rachel Tatum Lee continue to trade blows.

Sharper: “Selena! Selena Frost in there! She’s going after Red Rayne!”

Knots: “But Dawn’s there!”

Sharper: “She’s going after Rayne!”

Selena spins Rayne around and nails her with a hard right and Red Rayne kicks her. Selena nials her again and some officials come into view and manage to start to break Selena and Red Rayne up. A few others run down the hallway to go to Dawn Lohan and Rachel Tatum Lee. But Rachel Foxx starts to get up, reaching at Red Rayne, we then see Matt Auclair come up from behind and nail Rachel Foxx between the shoulder blades with the sledgehammer. The crowd ohs and Foxx falls over.

Sharper: “Oh! Oh! Damn it! The sledgehammer! To the back!”

Knots: “Oh damn! Auclair with a shot! A hell of a shot. His hand may be messed up but Foxx’s own hammer!”

Red Rayne then nails Selena with a few more shots as officials follow them. Auclair drops down and hooks the leg. He yells at the official for the match. The official drops down and counts.

The crowd boos. The bell sounds at ringside. Auclair gets up and grabs the Underground Championship from the official. The official nearly can’t slide it off in time as Auclair pulls it off. He then holds the title up. Rachel Tatum Lee continues to fight with Dawn Lohan.

Auclair: “Hey! Tatum….I got it back!”

The crowd boos as Dawn Lohan then boots Rachel Tatum Lee in the side of the head, knocking her down before she’s held back. Selena and Red Rayne keep trying to fight, but Red Rayne notices Auclair with the title and backs up, calming down. Auclair holds the title up and Red Rayne and Auclair then turn and head off.

Sharper: “Matt Auclair…he’s the new Underground Champion! In all of this chaos…”

Knots: “Rachel Foxx brought that woman here…and it just cost her!”

Sharper: “And with her own sledgehammer. My God…This war between New Eden and Requiem continues….”

Knots: “And it’s getting more and more personal!”

Foxx writhes in pain as Selena is held back by officials. Auclair and Rayne are shown walking down the hallway as Dawn Lohan is held back from Rachel Tatum Lee.

Sharper: “My God…what an end to Breakdown here. Best of the Best Tournament starts next week….and then what?!”
